Well, acatually, there's only one IMG tag in your example that would be
altered by the change i suggested:

> <A HREF="abc.html"><IMG SRC="kit.gif" ALT="">Tcl Base Kit</A>

Since the IMG is embedded in a link and has a null alt string, and isn't
an ISMAP or some other entity that would already have a different alt string,
it would display as [LINK].
Unfortunately, there is also other text in this link: "Tcl Base Kit".
So the link might display as "[LINK]Tcl Base Kit".
(The code that sets the alt string for IMG wouldn't know about the other text
at that point, I don't suppose.)

In other words, your link is already visible because of the additional text.
I was just trying to force invisible links to be visible if they contained an
IMG tag.
It was just a thought.  No code changes yet (if ever).
