ANNOUNCE: V0.3 of Palm Tcl for Palm OS
Ashok Nadkarni
Palm Tcl is based on version 7.6 of the Tcl language and supports most of
its features. Version 0.3 of Palm Tcl supports the following Palm OS
specific features:
User interface elements: title bars, menus, labels, text fields, lists,
buttons, repeating buttons, push buttons, checkboxes, selector triggers,
popup triggers, time and date selectors, tables.
Palm OS database support: listing, creation, deletion, updates of databases
System functions - sound, clipboard copy/paste, launching applications,
system event handling (graffiti, hardware buttons etc.)
Where to get it:
Palm Tcl is hosted on SourceForge at http://palm-tcl.sourceforge.net. Do not
confuse this with palmtcl.sourceforge.net which is a different unrelated
project (unfortunate clash of names).
Comments and questions go to "p a l m t c l @ y a h o o . c o m" or
comp.lang.tcl. Please do not reply by email to this message.

According to Ashok Nadkarni <ashokn...@hotmail.com>:
: Do not
:confuse this with palmtcl.sourceforge.net which is a different unrelated
:project (unfortunate clash of names).
Yes - but it does seem obvious that two people porting Tcl to a PalmOS
environment might choose a name with Palm and Tcl in it. Wouldn't it
be nice if SF.net, before approving a project name, returned a list of
similarly named projects ? Then when someone like yourself comes along
starting a project new to themselves, they can know what potential
conflicts are out there.

Even if explicitly stated to the contrary, nothing in this posting
should be construed as representing my employer's opinions.

Has anyone out there written anything with this version of Tcl?
I'd really be interested in seeing what has been done with it.

Larry,
This may not directly answer your question, but I'm about to
release an integrated development environment for GNU/Linux
and Windows for developing PalmTcl applications. The IDE is
written in Tcl/Tk, of course. As part of the documentation,
I've developed a small example application. It doesn't do
a whole lot, but it does demonstrate how easy it is to build
a Palm application using PalmTcl. I hope to make a formal
announcement in c.l.t and c.l.t.a in a day or so. I just
need to generate the new distribution archives and generate
the announcement message.
