Rene,

Whoops, that was not intentional. I had removed it because Vlerq is  
not used in the "genkit" build, i.e. in Tclkit "classic".  I've  
restored the symlink to /pub/vq/vqtcl.tgz now.

Vlerq is a research project (which is another way of saying that  
timelines are, ehm, "fluid"). Having said that, I'm continuing to  
spend considerable amounts of my time on Vlerq. I announced a new  
release a few hours ago on vlerq.org in fact.

My intention is to continue working on a couple of difficult  
foundation-type problems. Once that reaches a certain level, I can get  
back to creating wrappers for Tcl and other languages. One reason for  
this ordering is that the current Vlerq/Ratcl "v4" engine is actually  
pretty solid and usable. So as far as Tclkit Lite + KBS are concerned,  
I think the current code is fine - I will definitely continue to  
support it fully, and squash bugs whenever anybody bumps into one.

Not a day goes by without me sharing that opinion and preference, I  
assure you!
