.SH ZIPVFS
.PP
When a zipfile is concatenated to the end of \fBwish\fR, on startup
the contents of the zip archive will be mounted under the virtual file
system \fB//zipfs:/\fR. If a top level directory \fBtk_library\fR is
present in the zip archive, it will become the directory loaded as
env(TK_LIBRARY). If a file named \fBmain.tcl\fR is present in the top
level directory of the zip archive, it will be sourced instead of the
shell's normal command line handing.
.PP
Only one zipfile can be concatenated to the end of executable image
(tclsh, or wish). However, if multiple zipfiles are
concatenated, only the last one is used.

This filesystem is read-only. Files cannot be added or modified within
this mounted file system. See zipfs(n) for complete details.
