[ANNOUNCE] Tcl-To-Go, add-on disk for the muLinux system
Tom Poindexter
Tcl-To-Go fits over 35+ Tcl applications, plus tclsh and wish interpreters
onto a single (1722kb formatted) floppy. This represents more than
six megabytes of Tcl/Tk.
Many thanks to all of the authors whose code I've included in Tcl-To-Go!
You can get Tcl-To-Go at:
http://home.worldnet.att.net/~tpoindex/
http://www.nyx.net/~tpoindex/
muLinux is an application-centric, single floppy distribution of Linux. Other
add-on disks for muLinux includes X11 (required by Tcl-To-Go), VNC, GCC, EXT.
See the muLinux home page at:

Emjoy!

Tcl-To-Go
Tom Poindexter, tpoi...@nyx.net
3rd edition, Dec. 20 1999
Change log is located at the bottom of this file.
An add-on floppy for muLinux to add a healthy mix of application programs
written in Tcl/Tk. Requires the muLinux X11 add-on, as most Tcl programs
included are X11 based.
muLinux resources:
home page: http://sunsite.auc.dk/mulinux
mailing list: mulinux-...@sunsite.auc.dk
Tcl-To-Go: http://home.worldnet.att.net/~tpoindex/
http://www.nyx.net/~tpoindex/
Documentation:
Little documentation for each application is included. Some applications have
builtin help; check my 'notes' section for each entry. Please refer to
the applications' URL's for additional documentation.
Preference files/directories:
Many application also want to save user preferences into various directories
under $HOME or $USER. Typically, user files are stored as ".files" or
".directories" under "/" or "/root", if running muLinux as a single user.
If you wish to save the applications' preferences, you should make your own
arrangements to save and restore these files during muLinux startup and
shutdown.
Licenses issues:
The majority of the applications included have been written by others, and
are distributed under various license and/or copyrights.
For GPLed applications, refer to http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.txt
For BSD & copyrighted applications, see the license & copyright statement in
each application.

---base tcl/tk
tclsh8.0
wish8.0
description: Tcl/Tk, tclsh & wish interpreters
ver: 8.0.5
license: BSD style
author: John Ousterhout, et.al.
http://www.scriptics.com
tsp hacks:
add proc 'source' to init.tcl: examine file name, if a file
matches *.gz, then use gunzip to unpack source file.
tk.tcl - make mulinux friendly defaults, background color, fonts
gzip all tcl/tk library .tcl files, except init.tcl and tk.tcl
most files in ./bin link to STARTUP.SH, which starts wish and
causes the real program to be sourced from ../lib/bingz
compiled under Redhat 4.2 (libc5)
configure --prefix=/usr/tcltk --enable-shared --disable-symbols
edit makefile to add '-Wl,-rpath,/usr/tcltk/lib' and
'-Wl,-rpath-link,/usr/tcltk/lib' when linking shared libs & executables
strip tclsh wish libtcl8.0.5.so libtk8.0.5.so

ver: http://www.user.tninet.se/~hkc141i
license: BSD style
http://www.user.tninet.se/~hkc141i
tsp hacks:
added exec lines; use TCLTEXTEDIT_LIB for library directory;
copy lib macro files when making $HOME/.tcltextedit/;
use safe interp when evaling command (txt.tcl);
for some reason, edit main program doesn't like most lib .tcl files
to be compressed (?? !!) instead, put all but cfg.tcl inline in
main 'edit' source file.
looks like you should be able to open an http:// url on the
comand line, but doesn't seem to work.

changed index.html to reflect new environment vars.
remove pid file on exit.
added mime types .tgz, .bz2 to mime.tcl
notes:
if the server doesn't start up (socket: can't bind to address), you
probably have the muLinux pygmy web server running. either kill
the pygmy server, or start neowebscript-sa with a different port:
$ HTTP_PORT=8000 neowebscript-sa &
then, connect to it with chimera or quark as http://localhost:8000/

author: John Willem van Gulik <jvg...@magi.com> ??
ver: 3.2.4 (vmail3 version)
license: GPL
http://infoweb.magi.com/~jvgulik
tsp hacks:
change exec lines
removed: vvac, vquery, showhtml, vshow, vprog, logview, vfile, vdb, vdir
lib/tkapps/lib/config.tk - set smaller fonts; rename some buttons
on mail menu bar to be smaller
change .au files in tkapps/sounds to be tiny
change system.tk - just use plain 'df', not -k for Linux
many hacks to vprocs.tk, news.tk, mail.tk, socket.tk:
add pattern matching for list of
newsgroups, remove unsubscribed news groups, numerous bug
fixes; added check reconnect to newsserver; use nntpserver,
nntpport option values as server/port to open.
change sendmail_send to use mailserver & mailport option
values.
notes:
use vmail3 for both email and newsreader; to set a POP3 mailbox, use
userid@pophost as the mailbox name, where 'userid' is your POP3
user id, and 'pophost' is your POP3 host machine.
news can be a little cranky, e.g. if you select 'show all messages' with an open newsgroup, then you must re-open that group to show the effect.
John's email & home pages don't seem to be at maji.com any longer :(
I haven't been able to contact him.
