Hi,

While I cant speak for freewrap, (its been years..), I think that the 
whole point of "wrapping" is to avoid relying on having xotcl
installed on the users machine. Maybe I am missing something...

But anyway, I can speak for tclkit and starkits, maybe you could grab 
the XotclIde starkit/pack and "unwrap it" and see whats is going on..
For sure, as a minimum, you would need to include the the xotcl dll, ~ 
120Kbytes. If you are using some of the xotcl library procs, eg comm, 
then you would add those as well...
Let me know if you some quick instructions on getting starkits up and 
running...

regards,

nicolas boretos
