From: FAQ General information
Subject: -I- Origin of comp.lang.tcl, the FAQ information, and
to whom do I contact for more information about the FAQ?
What is comp.lang.tcl?
First, let me assure you what it is not.
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> (and <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl.announce> now)
are *NOT* bulletin boards. They are not, innately, mailing lists.
Some users may experience the messages in those formats, but
these communities of users are what is known as USENET newsgroups.
While Dr. John Ousterhout was the creator of the original, unmoderated
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl>, in the current incarnation, clt (as it is
often referenced) has no moderator, no owner, no authority to whom
one can appeal when one feels slighted, offended, libeled, etc.
On the other hand, there are a group of moderators associated with
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl.announce>, whose job it is to ensure that
the postings there remain 'on charter'.
What kinds of topics are appropriate for <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl>?
Good question. The original charter stated:
It will be an unmoderated forum for the discussion of the Tcl
programming language and tools that include it, such as Expect and the
Tk toolkit for X-Windows.
Thus, discussing Tcl, extensions and tools that use Tcl, products and
design ideas, all can be on topic. The "Welcome to comp.lang.tcl" message
<URL: http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-Welcome> lays out other useful
suggestions.
The majority of readers of <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> are
access the postings in English, and seem to prefer plain text postings
formatted to 78 or less characters per line, as opposed to HTML, Postscript,
MIME base64, Macintosh special character sets, etc.. They also prefer to
have postings which specify a working email address in the From or Reply-To
header (or at least in the body of the msg somewhere). While
alternatives to that are certainly possible, you decrease the chance of
getting a timely relevant answer by choosing alternatives to these.
These rules are not unique to clt, but are the typical USENET netiquette
that posters are asked to respect. As an alternative to this,
there are the French <URL: news:fr.comp.lang.tcl>, German
<URL: news:de.comp.lang.tcl>, and Japanese <URL: news:fj.lang.tcl>
equivalents of <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl>.
Posting of source code is acceptable (and in fact encouraged if
you are having problems) if reasonably sized (a few hundred lines);
otherwise, <URL: http://www.neosoft.com/tcl/> is an archive which
permits users to upload code they wish to share. Posting of binaries
(or even HTML attachements) are in general is not looked upon kindly;
use of NeoSoft or one of the many free web sites, etc. is a much better
alternative. Advertising for books, jobs, software, etc. are acceptable
if done with some forethought - frequent 'form letter' postings and
announcements are likely to meet with some community resistance.
One question that comes up fairly often concerning
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> is 'why isn't it split?'. The newsgroup
varies in traffic, but I have seen as many as 45 messages a day
(counting current cross postings, etc.) Currently, many have come
forward with ideas on how a split could be handled, but no concensus
has been reached. Also, no moderators have stepped forward to take
over moderation of a split group. During January, 1996,
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl.announce>, a moderated group containing
announcements of new software, doc, etc. relating to Tcl, was created.
So as of right now, asking to split the newsgroup only adds to the
existing traffic, without resolving any problems.
Other newsgroup in which you might encounter Tcl discussion are
<URL: news:alt.comp.tkdesk>, where discussions about the Tk application
TkDesk may take place, <URL: news:comp.unix.sco.programmer> - where
discussion about SCO's vtcl (a graphical interface extension based on the
Motif library) can be found, <URL: news:comp.lang.perl.tk>, which covers
discussions about the Tk binding to Perl, and of course, discussions of
specific ports of Tcl/Tk/other Tcl-based extensions and programs will
frequently be found on the appropriate OS or hardware related newsgroups
You can also find discussions regarding Tcl in many of the support newsgroups
and mailing lists provided by vendors/authors who are using Tcl in their
products. Two examples are the mailing lists for AOL's AOLserver and
Tcl/Tk based Instant Messages client TiK (see "part2"), while Vignette has
<URL: nntp://news.vignette.com/vignette.storyserver.misc> and
<URL: nntp://news.vignette.com/vignette.storyserver.template-lang>.
The information in this set of FAQs comes from several sources. The
primary source of information is the group itself - I spend (much too
much) time each month culling through what I feel are some of the best
answers, gathering up new information on ports, etc. and adding it
here. I also gather new application information and add it as
best I can. The next most predominant source of information comes from
the authors of the various software packages. Finally, a small amount
comes from my personal experiences. You can find my general

From: FAQ General information
Subject: -II- What is Tcl? Tk? Extended Tcl? What is Tcl _not_?
o Highlights of Tcl based languages
Tcl and Tk originated with Dr. John Ousterhout (OH'-stir-howt)
while teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, California.
A quip about the pronunciation of Dr. O's last name from
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> pundit <URL: mailto:j...@aelfric.bu.edu> Jay Sekora:
> `It's pronounced Oh-stir-howt
> without a doubt!
> Not Oh-stir-hoot;
> he's not a brute.'
A Brief History of Tcl-ing
See <URL: http://www.ajubasolutions.com/scripting/tclHistory.html> for
more details!
Dr. Ousterhout got the idea for Tcl while on sabbatical leave
at DEC's Western Research Laboratory in the fall of 1987. He started
actually implementing it when he got back to Berkeley in the spring of
1988; by summer of that year it was in use in some internal
applications, but there was no Tk. The first external releases of Tcl
were in 1989. Tk implemention began in 1989, and the first release of
Tk was in 1991.
John joined Sun in their research group in 1994.
During April/May, 1997, the Sun research group responsible for
Tcl development were spun off into a Sun business group called
SunScript. However, things changed again soon afterwards.
<URL: http://starbase.neosoft.com/%7Eclaird/comp.lang.tcl/SunScript_story> is
a copy of the message posted by John Ousterhout regarding the situation
as it developed during the Summer of 1997.
During August of 1997, a Tcl Consortium was formed. In
December of 1999, the Tcl Consortium was disbanded due to lack of
participation.
During February, 1998, John Ousterhout left Sun to create
Scriptics, a company dedicated to scripting tools, applications, and
services. He stated at the time that core Tcl and Tk would remain free,
with his team continuing work right now on Tcl/Tk.
During May, 2000, Scriptics changed their name to Ajuba (a-'joo-ba)
Solutions. The intent was to de-emphasis the scripting nature the
company previous had and to emphasize the business to business nature
towards which the company has moved.
On April 23, 1998 the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
<URL: http://www.acm.org/> awarded the 1997 Software System Award to
John Ousterhout and Scriptics. This is awarded to an institution
or individual(s) recognized for developing a software system that
has had a lasting influence, reflected in contributions to concepts,
in commercial acceptance, or both. The Software System Award carries
a prize of $10,000. Financial support for the Software System Award
is provided by IBM. See <URL: http://www.acm.org/awards/ssaward.html>
for the other folk who have won this award.
In September of 1998, Scriptics announced the availability of
TclPro, a suite of developer tools and the Tcl Consortium announced
Tcl-Blast! - a CD-ROM containing Tcl and extension source code as
well as binaries for a number of platforms. With the demise of the
Tcl Consortium, Ajuba Solutions is now the place to go to see about the
(Tcl 8.0.5 based) Tcl-Blast! CD-ROM.
Another bit of Tcl trivia has to do with sites where you find
Tcl and user contributed software. In the beginning, John created the
heavens and the earth... no, that's not right. In the beginning, the
Tcl and later the Tk source were available on an ftp site at Berkeley.
As user contributed software began to appear, some folk at purdue
graciously volunteered some disk space. Later, when John left Berkeley
for Sun, the core Tcl and Tk software (source code, etc.) moved from
Berkeley to Sun. Then, when the folk
at Purdue no longer had resources to support the archive, it moved to
Alcatel. Eventually, that archive was moved to Neosoft's
<URL: http://www.neosoft.com/tcl/> archive.
But what _is_ Tcl?
Tcl (current release version 8.3.1) stands for ``tool command
language'' and is pronounced ``tickle.'' The home download site for
the Tcl source code is <URL: http://dev.scriptics.com/software/download.html>.
For brave souls, Ajuba Solutions has also provided web access to the individual
modules via <URL: http://cvs.scriptics.com/>.
Tcl is actually two things: a language and a library. First, Tcl is a
simple textual language, intended primarily for issuing commands to
interactive programs such as text editors, debuggers, illustrators, and
shells. It has a simple syntax and is also programmable, so Tcl users
can write command procedures to provide more powerful commands than
those in the built-in set.
Second, Tcl is a library package that can be embedded in
application programs. The Tcl library consists of a parser for the Tcl
language, routines to implement the Tcl built-in commands, and
procedures that allow each application to extend Tcl with additional
commands specific to that application. The application program
generates Tcl commands and passes them to the Tcl parser for
execution. Commands may be generated by reading characters from an
input source, or by associating command strings with elements of the
application's user interface, such as menu entries, buttons, or
keystrokes. When the Tcl library receives commands it parses them into
component fields and executes built-in commands directly. For commands
implemented by the application, Tcl calls back to the application to
execute the commands. In many cases commands will invoke recursive
invocations of the Tcl interpreter by passing in additional strings to
execute (procedures, looping commands, and conditional commands all
work in this way).
An application program gains several advantages by using Tcl for
its command language. First, Tcl provides a standard syntax: once
users know Tcl, they will be able to issue commands easily to any
Tcl-based application. Second, Tcl provides programmability. All a
Tcl application needs to do is to implement a few application-specific
low-level commands. Tcl provides many utility commands plus a general
programming interface for building up complex command procedures. By
using Tcl, applications need not re-implement these features. Third,
extensions to Tcl, such as the Tk toolkit, provide mechanisms for
communicating between applications by sending Tcl commands back and
forth. The common Tcl language framework makes it easier for
applications to communicate with one another.
Note that Tcl was designed with the philosophy that one should
actually use two or more languages when designing large software
systems. One for manipulating complex internal data structures, or
where performance is key, and another, such as Tcl, for writing
smallish scripts that tie together the other pieces, providing hooks for
the user to extend. For the Tcl script writer, ease of learning, ease of
programming and ease of gluing are more important than performance or
facilities for complex data structures and algorithms. Tcl was
designed to make it easy to drop into a lower language when you come
across tasks that make more sense at a lower level. In this way,
the basic core functionality can remain small and one need only bring
along pieces that one particular wants or needs.
One answer to "What is Tcl?" can be found at
<URL: http://www.AjubaSolutions.com/scripting/>. For a white
paper written by Dr. Ousterhout discussing scripting languages, and Tcl
in particular, see
<URL: http://www.AjubaSolutions.com/people/john.ousterhout/scripting.html>.
For a 1996 article in SunWorld on the state of Tcl, see
<URL: http://www.sun.com/960710/cover/>. Other SunWorld articles have
followed.
Many times folk post to <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> asking about
the changes from one release of Tcl to another. One resource of course
comes with each source release of Tcl and Tk. A file named "changes"
lists a change log of important changes. However, it has been pointed out
that this file is not all inclusive. Another commonly referenced resource is
<URL: http://www.AjubaSolutions.com/>, which has various release notes available
online. In terms of books covering the topic, the book by Brent Welch
(see below) covers the topic over several chapters.
Tk (current release version 8.3.1) is an extension to Tcl which
provides the programmer with an interface to the X11 windowing system.
Note that Tk has been successfully compiled under X11 R4, X11 R5, X11
R6, as well as Sun's NeWS/X11 environments. The home download site for
this Tk release is <URL: http://dev.scriptics.com/software/download.html>.
Many users will encounter Tcl and Tk via the ``wish'' command. Wish
is a simple windowing shell which permits the user to write Tcl/Tk
applications in a prototyping environment.
Note that one frequently asked question is whether Tcl/Tk can
handle Japanese, Chinese, Korean, .... language fonts. As of 8.1, Tcl/Tk
supports UniCode. This makes it easier to provide various language
support, assuming that the appropriate fonts are available and appropriate
care is taken.
John also has asked me to mention that information about what is
new or changed in each release is now available on the WWW. John writes:
> there are now pages containing release notes. The best thing is just to
> refer people to my home page, which is:
> <URL: http://www.AjubaSolutions.com/people/john.ousterhout/>
> <URL: http://www.AjubaSolutions.com/>
> You might put a notice about this in the FAQ to help people who see
> the FAQ after we reorganize.
A Tcl/Tk logo and a "Tcl-Powered" logo are now available from John.
GIF images in several different sizes are available in the Tk source
code distribution's ../library/images/ subdirectory. See the README
file in the library/images subdirectory for more details.
Ajuba Solutions keeps a roadmap of future work on Tcl and Tk on
the <URL: http://dev.scriptics.com/> web site.
From time to time, there is concern about the future of Tcl.
John has given me permission to include this quote:

Extended Tcl (tclX) (current release version 8.2.0) is an extended set
of commands for Tcl developed by Karl Lehenbauer and Mark Diekhans.
The authors' home ftp site for Extended Tcl is
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/TclX/>. Extended
Tcl is oriented towards system programming tasks, with many additional
interfaces to the Unix operating system as well as other useful utilities.
Expect (current release version 5.31) was perhaps the first extension
to Tcl written. Its purpose is to ease interaction with applications which
normally interact directly with users at a terminal (such as ftp,
telnet, etc.). The WWW site for Expect is <URL: http://expect.nist.gov/>.
Expect is oriented towards automating command seuqences commonly
typed. One can use Expect with Tk to create graphical interfaces to
these commands as well. Expect works with Tcl up through Tcl 8.x.
Many other useful (and in some cases essential) extensions
also exist. (See "part5") for details.
o General information about Tcl and Tk by <URL: mailto:g...@utdallas.edu>
(Glenn Vanderburg)
Tcl (Tool command language) is a freely distributable simple,
interpreted language designed to be used as a common extension and
customization language for applications. It was designed and
implemented by Dr. John Ousterhout in the hope that application
designers could spend more of their time on applications and less on
scripting languages, and in the hope that users could spend less time
learning new scripting languages for each new application. Many useful
applications, some of them sold commercially, use Tcl as their
scripting language.
Tcl is clean and regular, and relatively easy for non-hackers to
learn. It is command-oriented, and commands added by applications and
users exist on an equal footing with the built-in Tcl commands. Tcl
has both simple variables and associative arrays (tables), and all
values (including procedure bodies) are represented as strings.
Simple customization scripts (such as preference initialization
scripts) usually look much like novice users expect them to: a series
of simple commands which set options.
Tcl is implemented as a C library, which can be embedded in an
application. The application can add its own commands to the
interpreter (using a clean C interface). It is distributed under a
license which allows use for any purpose with no royalties.
The Tk toolkit is a Tcl extension (a group of new Tcl commands) which
provides a Tcl interface to the X Window System. Tk is one of the
easiest ways to build a graphical interface to an application, and due
to the interpreted nature of Tcl, Tk-based interfaces tend to be much
more customizable and dynamic than those built with one of the C- or
C++-based toolkits. Tk implements the Motif look and feel. A number
of interesting X applications are implemented entirely in Tk, with no
new application-specific commands at all. Tk also provides a
mechanism by which one application can send Tcl scripts to other
Tk-based applications running on the same display, for easy
cooperation between tools.
Tcl and Tk are mature, and quite stable, but they are not static:
Dr. Ousterhout [...] moved from Berkeley to Sun Microsystems, where his
group [pursued] such projects as a commercial-quality Tk
graphical interface designer, an on-the-fly Tcl compiler, and
Macintosh and Microsoft Windows ports of Tk. John has stated that the
copyright status and licensing provisions of Tcl and Tk will not change.
----
As to what Tcl is not - in the context of the discussion in
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl>, it is not related directly to the
Think C Library (TCL) available on the Mac. Confusingly enough, the language
concerned with here _is_ available on the Mac, and someone in fact may have
used Think C to compile it there. Just one of those universal 'coincidences'
that set the stage for Vogon interstellar highway construction crews.
Also, Oracle has a product called Tk2Motif which has nothing to do with
Tcl or Tk as we are referring to it. Another 'TCL' that is sometimes
encountered has to do with the Pick operating system - again, that
is different than the language being discussed.
What are some of the most common complaints about Tcl? Well of
course the primary complaint is that because it is interpreted and
because the data is primarily treated as strings, that programs written
in Tcl are slow. Tcl 8.x attempts to address this by doing some degree
of compilation as well as permitted additional variable types. There
are also complaints frequently about the fact that several of Tcl's
behaviors are not intuitive - comments are commands rather than
traditional comments, numbers beginning with 0 are octal, proper use of
quoting mechanisms, etc. These are covered in the various FAQs.
A common question is whether Tcl/Tk/etc. is Year 2000 (Y2K)
compliant. The 'official' statement from the creator of the Tcl and Tk
core can be found at <URL: http://www.ajubasolutions.com/Y2K.html>. A
statement from one of the <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> readers who has done
his own analysis can be found at
<URL: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/%7Efellowsd/tcl/tcly2k.html>. Information
about Y2k compliance of various Tcl based programs or extensions should
come from their creators - if the web page for the program or extension
doesn't address the issue, email the creator and ask if they would
please add such a statement.

for images of some of the Tcl related merchandise that has been seen during
the past 5 years.

From: FAQ General information
Subject: -III- Do these packages run on my machine?
A. Unix
Tcl runs on Sun 3s, 4s, and later models running SunOS 4 and SunOS 5
(Solaris 1.x and 2.x), DECstations running Ultrix, DEC VAXen running
Ultrix or BSD, DEC Alphas running OSF/1, 386s running SCO Unix, Xenix,
Bell-Tech, all sorts of HPs running HP-UX (even HP Snakes running OSF/1
and HP-UX). Intel [34]86 systems running 386bsd, netbsd, freebsd,
BSDI, Solaris 2.x and Linux have Tcl ported. Various CPUs running
System V.4 report having ported Tcl. Tcl also appears to be running
on Sequent Symmetry running Dynix as well as OSF/1. It also has been
reported that Tcl runs fine on IBM RS6000 under AIX 3.x as well as IBM
ES/9000 and AIX/ESA. A few problems getting Tcl running under Mt. Xinu
Mach have been reported in the past. Tcl also has been ported to Encore
91's running UMAX V (an 88k based System V with BSD extension Unix), as
well as to Apollos running BSD/SYSV. Tcl runs on a Cray running Unicos.
Someone ported Tcl to a Sony NeWS machine running NEWS-OS 4.2. A Tcl
port to a Convex 3220 and 3880 was also reported. Folks have compiled
Tcl/Tk/BLT/itcl on a Mac running the latest A/UX. A port to Tenon
MachTen 2.1VM, running on a Mac II which was running MacOS System 7.1,
has been reported. A port to a Mac running mkLinux has been reported.
Tcl also runs on Supermax Motorola/MIPS based multiprocessors under
SMOS. LynxOS 2.4.0 and 2.5.0 come with Tcl and expect (but not Tk).
LynxOS 2.4.0 comes with Tcl 7.3. I've had a report of Tcl 7.[56]
(as well as Tk 4.[12]) being built on LynxOS and Tru64 OS.
Tk (being based on Tcl) generally requires X11R4 or better as
the only additional software requirement. It runs on any of the above
Unix systems with that base of software. It also runs on VMS and
OSF/1.
Note that SGI is shipping Tcl/Tk, TclMotif, expect, and some other
custom extensions along with the OS starting with Irix 6.2. The desktop
environment is called Indigo Magic.
For information on Tcl/Tk/TclX availability (see "part4").
B. MacOS
(See "part2") for details of a Macintosh Tcl Mailing list.
From Tcl 7.5/Tk 4.1 on, the source code for Tcl and Tk should
compile and run on a Macintosh from the original distribution.
The following BOF report from MacWorldExpo 1999 mentions support of
Tcl being added to MacOS X CR1
<URL: http://www.stepwise.com/SpecialCoverage/MacWorldExpo-99-SF/bof.html>.
Also (see "part4"), the Tcl programs/packages catalog,
for the latest port locations and versions.
C. INTEL DOS-like systems
From Tcl 7.5 on, the source code for Tcl and Tk should compile
and run on Windows machines from the original distribution.
Steve Furr <URL: mailto:fu...@qnx.com> reports getting Tcl ported
to QNX without a lot of trouble. He mentions that QNX users who have
the beta X should have gotten a CD-ROM update with Tcl and Tk on the
CD.
A port of Tcl 7.3, except for glob or command pipelines, to OS/2 2.x
using C Set++ has been done by <URL: mailto:w...@wwa.com> (Bud Bach).
Andreas Stuebinger <URL: mailto:stue...@infosun.fmi.uni-passau.de>
also has done an OS/2 port of Tcl (version unknown). Tcl 7.4 has been
ported to OS/2 by Stefano Fornari <URL: mailto:for...@ipvvis.unipv.it>
It is available at
<URL: ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/devtools/languages/>.
Illya Vaes <URL: mailto:iv...@hr.nl> has ported Tk 4.1 and Tk 4.2
(the Win32 version) to OS/2 Presentation Manager. The ports use the
the native PM/GPI calls and the EMX runtime and support OS/2 2.x.
They can be downloaded from
<URL: ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/tcl/tk42os2x.zip> (binaries 4.2),
<URL: ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/tcl/tk42os2s.zip> (source 4.2).
(and from Neosoft).
It is reported that Ilya Zakharevich <URL: mailto:il...@math.ohio-state.edu>
is doing something similar, using the Developer's API extensions to
directly support most of the Win32 API's under OS/2 Warp with DAX/DAPIE
and Fixpack 17 installed and the Open32 manager. Contact them for more
details on the progress being made.
Versions of Tcl for Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT, OpenNT
should all be available or buildable.
Also (see "part4"), the Tcl programs/packages catalog,
for the latest port locations.
D. VMS
A port of a variety of versions of Tcl/Tk to VMS have been done
by Angel Li <URL: mailto:an...@flipper.rsmas.miami.edu>. The files are at
<URL: ftp://mango.rsmas.miami.edu/pub/VMS-tcl/>
and were compressed with the Unix compress command.
These were compiled on an Alpha running OpenVMS T6.1.
A port of Tcl 6.3 onto VMS 5.5 was done by Wolfgang Kechel
<URL: mailto:wolf...@pr-wiesbaden.de> and Till Imanuel Panzschke. Contact them
directly for assistance.
Gerald W. Lester <URL: mailto:gwle...@cpu.com> says the following
_should_ work. If you installed the POSIX package on VMS (its free),
then you should be able to configure and make tcl. To access tcl you
would have to do one of the following: 1) Use the POSIX shell, or 2) do
a "psx tcl". Tcl scripts would not execute directly from DCL; to
execute a script foo.tcl from DCL you would have to do "psx foo.tcl".
DISCLAIMER: I have not built any version of tcl under VMS POSIX, these
comments are based on other work I've done with VMS POSIX.
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/sorted/packages-7.6/distrib/vms-sharable-binaries.tar.gz>
is a version of Tcl/Tk for VMS built as a sharable library. It
includes a dynamic module loading command. Otherwise, it matches the
src.honeywell.com version.
Also (see "part4"), the Tcl programs/packages catalog,
for the latest port locations.
E. AmigaDOS
Karl Lehbauer <URL: mailto:ka...@sugar.NeoSoft.com> has indicated that
he started a port of Tcl 3.x to the Amiga. He has a working
version, but is no longer working on it. His version uses the
Amiga's shared libraries and implements the "send" command.
He wrote a MIDI file loader and player as well. Contact him for
further details.
Ty Sarna <URL: mailto:tsa...@endicor.com> has ported Tcl 6.x to the
Amiga. He says:
> I've ported 3.3 and several 6.x versions to the Amiga, and it can be
> done in under and hour if you leave out the "Unix" functionality.
> However, "Unix" functionality includes things like file I/O!
Another Amiga user, <URL: mailto:co...@opossum.inria.fr>
(Colas Nahaboo), mentioned that using Amiga gcc and the PD X server DaggeX
and Xlibs that a port of Tk might be possible.
<URL: mailto:h...@hermes.bouw.tno.nl> (Marco van der Heiden) has
completed a port to the Amiga, and suggests Amiga developers contact him
by email.
<URL: mailto:wu...@hotdog.ping.de> (Berndt Wulf) reports building
Tcl and Tk on an Amiga system running NetBSD1.0b2, using the sources on
the Walnut Creek Tcl/Tk CD-ROM.
A version of Tcl is apparently available on Fish disk number 447.
I do not have information concerning what version of Tcl this is. It
is my understanding that the Fish disks are available on many of the
Amiga Internet archive sites, one of which is
<URL: ftp://ftp.cso.uiuc.edu/>.
Tcl 7.6 and Tk 4.2 can also be found on the Geek Gadgets CDROM
(formerly known as ADE) and on any ADE/Geek Gadgets FTP server along
with an X11 server and a complete development kit for unix apps. The
main site is <URL: ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/geekgadgets/>. This version
of Tcl/Tk is not limited in any way (ie. everything should work as the
Unix version) and Tcl/Tk 8.0+ should appear soon.
Also (see "part4"), the Tcl programs/packages catalog,
for the latest port locations.
F. NeXT
At one time, information about compiling Tcl and Tk were
in the FAQs. This info appears to be gone now. Perhaps the configure
information compiles out of the box. If not, please forward info to
<URL: mailto:lvi...@cas.org> and I can add pointers here to you.
G. Other
A port of Tcl 7 has been done to VxWorks.
You can find it at
<URL: ftp://ftp.atd.ucar.edu/pub/vxworks/vx/tclvx7.0v5.tar.gz>,
<URL: ftp://ftp.atd.ucar.edu/pub/vxworks/vx/tclvx7.3.tar.gz>, and
<URL: ftp://ftp.atd.ucar.edu/pub/vxworks/vx/vxTcl7.4.tar.Z>
or names similar (if updates have occurred). A diff file that appears to
make Tcl 8.x compatible is in this ftp directory.
Also Wind River Systems's Tornado development environment includes a
tcl interface for VxWorks.
A port to GEOS was attempted, but it was found to be difficult to
run there (except perhaps under the desktop platform) due to resource limits
and constraints.
A port of Tcl/Tk and X11R6 to OS-9 has been reported to be
done by <URL: mailto:k...@keihh.hanse.de> Kei Thomasen. A different port of
Tcl/Tk to OS-9 was done by <URL: mailto:oer...@port.de> Heinz-Juergen Oertel.
A port of Tcl 8.0 has been done to BeOS, by Dave Mills
<URL: mailto:rfac...@earthlink.net>. See
<URL: ftp://ftp.be.com/pub/contrib/lang/> for details.
A port of Tcl 7.4 to Archimedes RISCOS 3.1 or later was performed
by C.T.Stretch <URL: mailto:ct.st...@ulst.ac.uk>.
A port of Tcl/Tk 8.0.3 with the plus patch applied,
as well as Expect 5.28, to OS/390 was reported by
Ingo Struewing <URL: mailto:i...@sql.de> in early 1999.
A port of Tcl/Tk to Windows/CE has been mentioned as being in
progress at times in the past, but no formal announcement has been made.
A port of Tcl/Tk to LinuxCD was reported at least once. No definite work
to port Tcl to PalmOS has been reported.
Also (see "part4"), the Tcl programs/packages catalog,
for the latest port locations.
------------------------------
From: FAQ General information
Subject: -IV- Other than C, what languages can talk to tcl/tk?
A. Shell
There are a number of interfaces which are shell-like. The
first is tclsh, which comes as a sample program implementing a Tcl
interpreter as a part of the Tcl distribution. Another is wish, which
is a shell-like interface that is a part of the Tk package. Many of
the other extensions also build interpreters as well. The tclX extension
is an example - it builds an interpreter called tcl as well as one called
wishx.
B. C++
There is a package called Objectify which can be used to assist
one in turning C++ classes into Tcl object types.
If you wish to use C++ with Tcl then you must have your main()
in a source file that is compiled with a C++ compiler; this will
ensure that the necessary C++ pre-main initialization code is
executed.
You can call tcl and tk routines (or other C code) routines from C++
provided that the function prototypes avoid C++ name mangling by using
the C++ linkage specification :
extern "C" ... prototype ...
Fortunately, tcl.h and tk.h will provide these specifications when
compiled with a C++ compiler and so you can just use them directly.
You can construct your main using normal tcl and tk routines,
or use tkMain.c and tkAppInit.c with minor modifications. Ken Yap's
patch, obtainable from
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/alcatel/extensions/tk3.6forC++.patch.gz>,
is a patch that allows tk 3.6 main.c and other extension routines to be
compiled with a C++ compiler. Thanks to Ken Yap
<URL: mailto:k...@syd.dit.csiro.au> for this code.
C++ functions and static class member functions can be used to
create Tcl command using Tcl_CreateCommand in the normal way.
Non-static member functions cannot be used so simply, Tcl would
have to supply a "this" pointer.
SWIG <URL: http://www.swig.org/> is another great
resource for using C++ and Tcl. To quote the author:
> SWIG is a code development tool created to solve real problems and
> make C/C++ programming more enjoyable. Simply stated, SWIG
> allows you to integrate common scripting languages such as Tcl,
> Perl, Python, and Guile with programs containing collections of
> functions written in C or C++. By using an interpreted scripting
> language with a C program, you can do a number of cool things like:
> Build a powerful interface.
> Rapidly prototype new features.
> Interactively debug and test your code.
> Develop a graphical user interface.
> Build C/C++ modules for scripting language applications.
> Save lots of time--allowing you to work on the real problem.
> Impress your friends.
One user notes:
> To contrast SWIG with Objectify - SWIG has you prepare a small interface
> file that specifies what functions are to be wrapped, rather than adding
> macros to your original header file. It also works with C, as well as
> C++.
C. Modula-3
Norman Ramsey <URL: mailto:elan.uucp!nr> says:
A long time back, Eric Muller posted a Modula-3 interface to
the C Tcl library. I wrote down a Modula-3/Tcl interface that used
Modula-3 types rather than C types, and that used objects to build
closures for commands. I wrote part of the implementation but never
finished it. I have mailed copies to <URL: mailto:car...@udel.edu>,
who asked the question, and I will post them if there seems to be general
interest.
Also, there is an interface between Tk and Modula-3 that is a part
of the Modula-3 archives on <URL: ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/>, and Tcl-DP and
Modula-3 have been merged.
D. Eiffel
<URL: mailto:ste...@cs.tu-berlin.de> (Stephan Herrmann) says:
... [the tclish package provides] the marriage of two very different
principles by means of combining two programming languages into a
hybrid program architecture.
There are three classes for the user - tcl interpretor, tk application,
and tk window. See <URL: ftp://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/pub/eiffel/tclish> for
details.
E. Ada
<URL: mailto:den...@dennis.cs.colorado.edu> (Dennis Heimbigner)
introduced an adatcl package which gives Ada programmers access to Tcl
interpreters. (See "part4") for details of the package.
F. Perl
In the past, efforts by Dov Grobgeld
<URL: mailto:d...@menora.weizmann.ac.il> and Guenther Schreiner
<URL: mailto:guen...@ira.uka.de> were made to develop at least 2
Perl 4 to Tcl/Tk interfaces.
More effort has occured in the Perl 5 environment, where an
extension to allow Perl 5 to directly access the Tcl C API, as well as an
extension to allow the ability to do Tk programming without a Tcl
interpreter involved at all are available. These packages can be ftp'd
from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) - a series of ftp
sites which keep the latest and greatest archives of Perl code in sync.
See <URL: http://www.perl.com/perl/CPAN/CPAN.html> for a pointer to CPAN,
and follow the links to find the Tcl related Perl packages.
G. Prolog
The package ProTcl is an interface between Prolog and Tcl/Tk.
It works best with ECLiPSe, but the foreign interface of SICStus and Quintus
is also provided. The interface is dynamically loaded into a Prolog process
and it gives access to Tcl commands and to handling Tk events. It is also
possible to call Prolog from Tcl, handle Tk events in Prolog and to
pass Prolog variables back to Tcl. See
<URL: http://www.ecrc.de/eclipse/html/protcl.html> for more details.
H. Other
A module for Python based on Tk is available - more details are
available in <URL: news:comp.lang.python> on this front.
Tk bindings for the Dylan language are being shipped as a part
of CMU's Mindy compiler for Dylan. The Sather language also has a set
of classes to bind in Tk/Tcl.
Duncan Sinclair <URL: mailto:sinc...@dcs.gla.ac.uk> has details of a
hack into wish.c some hooks for a Tk to any language system, and has been
using it for communication with functional languages such as Haskell and
Lazy ML. A paper, plus sample code, was available by ftp from
<URL: ftp://ftp.dcs.gla.ac.uk/pub/glasgow-fp/authors/Duncan_Sinclair/>.
Unfortunately I've been unable to confirm this is still available.
The InterLanguage Unification project is a system that promotes
software interoperability via interfaces. It has the ability to allow
Common Lisp, ANSI C, C++, Modula 3 to interact and plans to add Python,
Tcl, and GNU Emacs-Lisp shortly.
Of course the Wafe application environment is designed to make
it easier to do X like applications from within several languages using
Tk as a basis.
There are several interfaces to allow one to interface with SQL
though some are specific to a database such as Oracle.
There is an interpreter for Silicon Graphics machines for SGI's
GL language. There is an interface to WOOL. The GNU language Guile not
only has a Scheme backend, but a Tcl one as well. There are at least
two interfaces to Tcl for Java. There is a Caml Light interface to
Tcl/Tk. There is a commercial product which provides an interface
between Objective C and Tcl. There is an interface between Oz and Tcl/Tk.
There is a subset of Modula-3 with a Tk binding. There is at least one
interface between Scheme and Tk. There is a binding in Gopher for Tcl/Tk.
For more details on the above efforts, (see also "part4").

From: FAQ General information
Subject: -V- What training material is available?
Here you can find a brief list of Tcl or Tk related books.
I currently only list brief notes about some of the books - unfortunately
I removed a lot of info and pointed people over to the Tcl Consortium's
site. Now that it is gone, I will be attempting to update my lists to make
them more complete. I also list other books they didn't list.
Just a note - I currently don't work for any of these folk. In some
cases, folk have contributed the description of their books.
In most cases, I haven't even seen the book that's described.
Another resource can be found at <URL: http://www.ajubasolutions.com/> and
their resource center. Another source of info regarding Tcl books is
<URL: http://starbase.neosoft.com/%7Eclaird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl_books.html>
Finally, Amazon.com encourages readers to submit reviews of books.
PLEASE! If you read one of these books and find it good,
or bad, place your reviews on this site. If you have a different
site you prefer, drop me a line and I will add a mention of that
book review site here as well. This way I can attempt to avoid
it looking as if I hated or loved some particular book, but
instead can leave it to those buying the books to indicate how
good or bad a title is.
1. Title: Obfuscated C and Other Mysteries
Author: Don Libes <URL: mailto:li...@nist.gov>
WWW book information: <URL: http://catalog.wiley.com/ss/.147311173/index.cgi?script=remsrch&query=Obfuscated+C+and+Other+Mysteries>
This is not your typical programming book. This book discusses programming
in the Unix environment in a humorous manner. However, specific
solutions to issues are addressed. Separate chapters on Tcl and Expect
are covered.
2. Title: Tcl and the Tk Toolkit
Author: John K. Ousterhout <URL: mailto:ous...@ajubasolutions.com>
WWW book information: <URL: http://cseng.aw.com/bookdetail.qry?ISBN=0-201-63337-X&ptype=1176>
<URL: http://www.awl.com/cseng/titles/0-201-63337-X/>
Book's examples: <URL: ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/doc/book.examples.Z>
Book supplement: <URL: http://dev.scriptics.com/doc/tk4.0.ps>
The book primarily covers Tcl 7.3 and Tk 3.6. A German translation of
this book, titled _Tcl und Tk_, with the ISBN of 3893197931, is also
available.
While the book is a good intro to Tcl, its basis on the older
Tk makes it difficult to use for some types of Tk development.
The tk4.0 porting guide postscript document with a few of the issues.
However, there have been many changes since Tk 3, particularly in
Tk 8's cross platform environment.
3. Title: X User Tools

ISBN: 1565920198
Pages: 856
Price: 49.95 US
WWW book information: <URL: http://www.ora.com/catalog/xtools/>
Chapter 30 covers writing tools in Tcl/Tk. Several Tcl and Tk tools
are available on the CD-ROM. However, since it is more than 2 years old,
it is a rather outdated version of Tcl/Tk.
4. Title: Exploring Expect
Subtitle: A Tcl-Based Toolkit for Automating Interactive Applications
Author: Don Libes <URL: mailto:li...@nist.gov>
WWW book information: <URL: http://www.ora.com/catalog/expect/>
Book's examples: <URL: ftp://ftp.cme.nist.gov/pub/subject/expect/example/>
Errata: <URL: http://expect.nist.gov/errata>
For all of you who thought that the Expect man page was too long and too
terse at the same time, this book provides relief. "Exploring Expect"
is an introduction and comprehensive tutorial to Expect. Numerous
examples are provided and explained, demonstrating how to save you time
and money. Example topics include how to write patterns, do signal
handling, use Expect as a telnetable daemon, and use Expect with Tk and
other Tcl extensions.
The book also includes an innovative introduction to Tcl - if you've
had trouble using Tcl before, all of a sudden, it will make a lot more
sense. And while Exploring Expect concentrates primarily on using
Expect with Tcl, programmers attempting to automate interactive
programs using C, Perl, Python, or any other language will find this
book helpful because many of the concepts underlying Expect-like
programming are common to all languages.
Exploring Expect remains in the first edition. There have only been a
few corrections and updates so they have been easily incorporated in
new printings. The last time Don had to make any corrections was in the
third printing.
Exploring Expect was originally based on Tcl 7.3 and 7.4 alpha.
However, the book correctly describes 7.5 as well. Almost all of the
recent changes in Tcl were under the cover - which is not the focus of
Don's book, so it is still accurate.
Interesting story time: Don only needed to make one change in the book
when Tcl 7.4 came out of alpha. Tcl 7.4 added checking for overflow
which was something his random number generator didn't like. So he
changed the constants in the 2nd printing to avoid this problem.
Later, Ousterhout got enough grief from people that he later changed
it back. So it turned out that Don really hadn't needed to make any
changes to the book after all.
The book was also based on Tk 3.6 and Tk 4 alpha. Don's book doesn't
go into enough depth on Tk that this really matters - in fact, he only
needed to mention a difference between Tk 3 and Tk 4 at one point. So
the text is still accurate. He does, however, have a lot of real code
and some of the Tk examples no longer work quite right because of the
way bind changed. However, all of those examples come with the Expect
tar file and they are Tk4-ized, so it shouldn't be a significant
problem. The text describing the examples is still correct.
Note that a new version of Expect is in testing for Tcl 8.0. To get it,
check on the WWW home page for the beta version of Expect.
The WWW home for Expect is <URL: http://expect.nist.gov/>.

server-side CGI scripting and microscripting through to client-side
Tclets and hyperpage scripting, with some general network programming
thrown in for good measure.
The author plans on including lots of example scripts, but probably not much C
code - this is 100% Pure Tcl(TM) - which will provide a coherent
collection of applications and libraries. He'll also include examples
of code reuse; for server- and client-side processing of forms for
example.

least in passing. See for instance
Running Linux <URL: http://www.ora.com/catalog/runux2/noframes.html> or
LINUX System Administration Handbook 1/e from 1998.
I've also seen other non-Linux specific books on topics such as web site
administration which mention Tcl in passing. While the descriptions of
such books mention Tcl, typically, the coverage appears so small that I have
not bothered to add them to this list at this time.
A recent book mentioned is the Linux Programmer's Reference, by
Richard Petersen <URL: http://linuxcentral.com/products/book/progref/>.
It covers the various languages available on Linux and includes a
quick reference for tcl and tk.
Linux in a Nutshell is another of these books.

U. More Practical Programming in Tcl/Tk
Author: Kevin B. Kenny
Publisher: Prentice Hall
Publication date: October 2000
ISBN: 013081251X
Other documentation includes:
1. Many people learn Tcl/Tk from reading the 'man' pages. These files,
a part of the source code distribution, are mentioned in Dr. Ousterhout's
book as 'the reference manual'. If the person who installed Tcl/Tk at
your site did a build of the executables and then ran the 'make install'
step described in the source code distribution, the man pages are probably
installed on your system in a directory. Contact your system adminstrator
for more details. Also, (see "part2") for a number of WWW resources
which provide additional information about many aspects of Tcl and its
extensions. See the other FAQs mentioned in this document for additional
help, pointers to software examples, and other resources from which you
can draw help. For instance, (see "bibliography/part1") for details
of published books, magazine and journal articles, proceedings papers, and
thesises relating to the Tcl family of languages.
See <URL: http://www.cpu.com/training/tclcom1.htm> for details of classes
offered commercially.
2. For a list of free resources, (see "part3") which has an
entry for a variety of resources.
3. Computerized Processes Unlimited has a combined Tcl/Tclx reference
manual for sale. See <URL: http://www.cpu.com/training/tclcom1.htm> for
more information.
4. The USENIX Association <URL: http://www.usenix.org/> not only
sponsors various conferences and workshops of possible interest to the
Tcl and Tk communities, but also offers the proceedings from those

realistic applications. The author expects to cover complex controls,
photo-realistic panels, browser/notebook/wizard/image map interfaces,
servers and CORBA, and more. Tkinter is fullly documented.

others in <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> know about the event so that they
might also attend. For that matter, consider scheduling a Tcl/Tk event
yourself if you are so inclined!
------------------------------
From: FAQ General information
Subject: -VI- Where do I report problems, bugs, or enhancements
There are two alternatives for reporting bugs and problems.
The first is the Usenet news group <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl>, an
unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, created for the discussion of the Tcl
programming language and tools that use some form of Tcl, such as the
Tk toolkit for the X window system, Extended Tcl, and expect. Please
note that postings of source code to <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> does not
automatically get archived on <URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/>
(in the User Contributions archive site) - if you want your code to
be available, you will need to make arrangements with the folks there
to have it added. See elsewhere in the FAQ for more details on the
user contrib archive site.
The second alternative would be to report problems, suggestions, new
ideas, etc. directly to the author. To find the email address of
the authors of Tcl/Tk based programs and extensions, (see "part4"), and (see
"part5"). Note that this does NOT apply to Tcl / Tk themselves - John has
asked that you use <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> for public communications.
There is also <URL: http://www.AjubaSolutions.com/support/> for reporting
problems, suggesting improvements, and so on.
When you report bugs, be sure you mention what hardware and
operating system you are using (e.g. Pentium 100 mhz running Linux
version x.y.z), what version of tcl/tk you are using (e.g. Tcl
7.6p2/Tk 4.2p2), what extensions you have added (e.g. tclX, dash,
plus, itcl, tix, and blt), and any local modifications you have made.
Then, provide if possible either a small piece of code, or a URL
(e.g. <URL: ftp://ftp.myhost.com/some/path/stuff.tcl> ) to some code
which demonstrates the problem. Either have the code explicitly mention
here's what I thought would happen, or in your description mention that.
Also, if something used to work, mention which configuration you used.
Most of all, be sure to provide an email address that is valid, and be
sure to watch the usenet newsgroups for responses, since seldom will
folk send private email on a matter which likely is of public interest.
On the other hand, if you DO get private email replies, remember to post a
summary of what works to the group, so that future generations can benefit
from your learning experience. If something in Tcl fails, don't just
say "Tcl_Eval() fails" (or whatever function) but tell folk specifically
what type of core dump occured, or what error codes were returned, what
values were left in $errorCode and interp->result, and so on. If you send
information about your platform, version of tcl, and code which can easily
duplicate the bug to <URL: http://www.AjubaSolutions.com/support/>,
it can be examined, verified, logged and possibly fixed
in a future Tcl/Tk release. If you have devised a fix (commonly referred
to as a patch) for any Tcl or Tk related software, be sure to notify
the author of the software as well as <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl>.
To report patches to the core Tcl and Tk software, access
<URL: http://www.AjubaSolutions.com/support/>.
If you have software from which you think someone might benefit
(either a program, function, extension, or simple example), or you have
a document, magazine or journal article, thesis, project, or even
commercial advertisement, be sure to let the appropriate folks know.
There are FAQ maintainers for each of these areas as well as a
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl.announce> newsgroup you can use. Source code
postings of reasonable length (and reasonable has been pretty large)
are acceptable, BUT postings are _not_ automatically archived on the
Neosoft ftp site. It is always worthwhile to submit your contributions
directly to the ftp site so more folk in the future can benefit from your
experience. To make announcements to the <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl.announce>
newsgroup, send email with the details to
<URL: mailto:tcl-an...@mitchell.org>. Also, feel free to just point folk
at your own ftp site or WWW site if you have one which can be used. Folk
should not feel compelled to keep everything on one site - but should feel
free to ftp contributions there if they wish.

001. The introductory papers on Tcl and Tk by Dr. J. Ousterhout are
available at <URL: ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/doc/tclUsenix90.ps>,
<URL: ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/doc/tkUsenix91.ps>,
<URL: ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/doc/tkF10.ps>. (The last of these files
is the contents of Figure 10 of the Tk paper). The examples from the
Ousterhout book are available in one large file as
<URL: ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/doc/book.examples.Z>. A series of
PostScript slides used in an introduction/tutorial on Tcl and Tk at
several X and Usenix Conferences are available as
<URL: ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/doc/tut.tar.Z>. Dr. Ousterhout has
written an engineering style guide that describes the coding, documentation,
and testing conventions that are used in Tcl and has made it available to
other Tcl/Tk developers. It is located at
<URL: ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/doc/engManual.tar.Z>. Feedback is welcome,
but specifics concerning actual conventions are unlikely to change. Primarily
there is room for changes on the presentation itself, as well as additional
conventions which should be present but are not. Notes pointing to a conflict
between a stated convention and Tcl or Tk base code are of interest. Send
comments to Dr. Ousterhout <URL: mailto:ous...@scriptics.com>. The Tcl team
maintains the WWW page <URL: http://www.scriptics.com/> for holding answers to
Tcl questions, pointers to the software distributions, current status of
Tcl/Tk development, release information on Tcl and Tk, and pointers to a few
other places on the Web with Tcl/Tk info. There is also pointers to slide
presentations made at the Symposium on Very High Level Languages and papers
concerning intelligent agents on the Internet. John's own WWW pages are now
found at <URL: http://www.scriptics.com/people/john.ousterhout/>.

From: FAQ General information
Subject: -IX- Where can I find the FAQ and who do I contact for more
information about it?
I keep pointers to the authority locations of the various Tcl FAQs
of which I am aware at <URL: http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/>.
I am also going to attempt to keep a copy of this file up to date on
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/sorted/packages-7.6/info/faq/> in files
named tcl-faq.part0[1-5]. Make sure you pick up the newest ones there.
There are mirrors of the user contribution archive site maintained
elsewhere - for instance, it appears that huji, denet, luth, obspm,
th-darmstadt, sunsite, univie all have some portion of the user contrib
archives available. Also, I will be posting it on a regular basis to
at least <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl>, <URL: news:news.answers>, and
<URL: news:comp.answers>.
Many FAQs, including my particular ones, are available on the
archive site <URL: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news/answers/>.
The subdirectory and name under which a FAQ is archived appears in the
Archive-name line at the top of the article.
For example, this part of the comp.lang.tcl FAQ is archived as
<URL: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news/answers/tcl-faq/part2.Z>.
There is a Northern European archive for the FAQ at
<URL: ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/usenet/news.answers/comp.lang.tcl/>
as well as a French location for the FAQ at
<URL: ftp://hplyot.obspm.fr/tcl/tcl.FAQ.gz>. A great WWW site for
these archives can be found at <URL: http://www.faqs.org/>.
There is also a mail server from which you can obtain a copy of
the FAQ. Send an email message to <URL: mailto:mail-...@rtfm.mit.edu> or
<URL: mailto:archive...@nic.switch.ch> with the word help in the body of
the message to find out how to use it.
Also, this FAQ is available from within gopher (by looking at
any one of the gopher holes presenting news.answers or FAQ lists), from
WAIS servers (such as the comp.lang.tcl.src), from a number of sites
which have available via ftp archives of news.answers and comp.answers
(use archie to locate one of these sites available around the world),
and probably other resources as well.
Other news.answers/FAQ archives (which carry some or all of the FAQs
in the <URL: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/> archive), sorted by country, are:

Various Uniform Resource Locator (URL) ids for the
comp.lang.tcl FAQ exist. My personal copy is found at
<URL: http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/>. The user can use a
WorldWideWeb (WWW) client to access the Tcl FAQ from this point.
Another FAQ page is
<URL: http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news/faq/comp.lang.tcl.html>.
Yet another is
<URL: http://www.cs.ruu.nl/wais/html/na-bng/comp.lang.tcl.html>.
A WWW URL where the FAQ is treated simply as one
long scrollable document (suitable for doing a search against, for
instance) is <URL: http://realsoon.wpi.edu:8080/faqs/tcl.FAQ>
though there are reports that this server is not responding to HTTP
requests.
A archive of the newsgroup is available from
<URL: ftp://olive.kek.jp/pub/tcl/News/> where the archive is organized
by collecting each month's worth of postings into its own file. This
archive has been kept since January 1993.
There is a Tcl room on Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Contact
Don Lindsay <URL: mailto:d...@metroatlanta.com> for details on the #TCL room.
The FAQs also can be found in many of the various archives for
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> as well as mirrors of the neosoft ftp site.
I must warn you though that in many cases, the copies of the FAQs
found around the internet are woefully out of date. The PURL points to
the authority location and should be available to all.
Let me know when you find the FAQ in new and unusual locations
so I can update this resource guide!
------------------------------
From: FAQ General information
Subject: -X- On what sites can I find archives for comp.lang.tcl?
At <URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/tcl_announce/>, the
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl.announce> postings are archived. Details
regarding a mailing list of postings to this newsgroup are also
at the WWW site.
At <URL: http://www.loria.fr/news/fr.comp.lang.tcl-old.html>,
the first few months worth of articles on <URL: news:fr.comp.lang.tcl> are
available, while the current articles are available at
<URL: http://www.loria.fr/news/fr.comp.lang.tcl.html>.
FTP access to individual articles from March through October 1997
are available at <URL: ftp://ftp://ftp.loria.fr/pub/arch-news/comp.lang.tcl/>.
One ftp archive of old <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> articles is available
from <URL: ftp://ftp.canberra.edu.au/pub/motif/pub/comp.lang.tcl/>.
<URL: mailto:j...@ise.canberra.edu.au> (Jan Newmarch) maintained it.
It contains articles from July 1993 thru December, 1993.
Another archive is available as <URL: ftp://olive.kek.jp/pub/tcl/News/>
and is stored as a series of monthly archives. It is maintained by
<URL: mailto:kus...@maple.kek.jp> (Kazuro Furukawa). Archives for 1992-1996,
as well as for January thru April 1997 ar available.
Another such site is
<URL: http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/mlists/comp.lang.tcl/comp.lang.tcl.html>,
which covers from December 1993 through April of 1996 (with what
appears to be various holes in coverage).
One way to access old <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> articles is to
get one of the published CD-ROMs. CD ROM World's 1993 CD-ROM claims to
include 40 meg of articles. InfoMagic's 1996 Tcl/Tk CD-ROM makes the
same claim.
More interesting ways to access a portion of the newsgroup are
<URL: http://ecsdg.lu.se/cgi-bin/wwwnntp?comp.lang.tcl> and a number of
the USENET interactive archive sites. The first gives you access to a
small number of recent news articles. The latter includes
<URL: http://www.deja.com/group/comp.lang.tcl>,
<URL: http://www.deja.com/group/comp.lang.tcl.announce>,
and <URL: http://www.reference.com/> (which provide
a mechanism for sending you email when new postings which match your favorite
search query appear),
<URL: http://www.altavista.com/>, or <URL: http://www.infoseek.com/>.
These give one the ability to search the articles posted over past
months. AltaVista appears to have a 2-3 month archive while the others
go back a bit further. AltaVista also has a bad reputation for not updating
its usenet archives reliably recently. Another site would be
<URL: http://decaf.talkway.com/cgi-bin/cgi?request=enter&group=comp.lang.tcl>
and
<URL: http://decaf.talkway.com/cgi-bin/cgi?request=enter&group=comp.lang.tcl.announce>.
At <URL: http://hornet.mmg.uci.edu/cgi-bin/nph-fwais.pl>, one gets the
opportunity to do WAIS searching against various databases, one of
which appears to be the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup.
At <URL: http://people.a2000.nl/hkooiman/Oratcl.html#Sherlock> or
<URL: http://people.a2000.nl/hkooiman/Scriptics.hqx> you will find a
MacOS Sherlock plug-in for searching <URL: http://www.scriptics.com/>.
A fantastic Internet resource is Tcl-URL, found at
<URL: http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/url.html>. This is a weekly summary of
the <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> highlights.
<URL: http://www.supernews.com/default/group.pl?path=Computers%20%26%20The%20Internet%2FProgramming/Tcl> is yet another attempt at providing users access to
<URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> and <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl.announce> via WWW.

From: FAQ Tcl/Tk Package Catalog
Subject: -XI- Where can I get these packages and what tutorial information is available?
Tcl and Extended Tcl have been posted to comp.sources.misc in the past,
appearing In volume 25 and then Tcl appeared again in volume 26 and can
be found at most comp.sources.misc archive sites in the tcl and tclx
directories. These are quite old versions actually, but are still usable.

for details.
Another site which is available is <URL: http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/ > .
Once you enter this site, just type the name of the package you are wanting
and you should get back a list of ftp sites where the package is
available.
------------------------------
From: -XI- Where can I get these packages and what tutorial information is available?
Subject: -A- Tcl and Tk
<URL: http://dev.scriptics.com/ > contains a description of all
the files available on the site.
Most of the files are compressed tar or zip files; to get back the
original directory hierarchies, type a command like the following for
each file you retrieved:
zcat tk8.0.tar.Z | tar xf -
This will create a directory named tk8.0 with all the source files and
documentation for that release. For files with ".gz" extensions, use
a command like the following instead of the one above:
gunzip -c tk8.0.tar.gz | tar xf -
Each of the releases has a README file in the top-level directory that
describes how to compile the release, where to find documentation, etc.
In addition to the information here, there are many other Tcl/Tk extensions,
scripts, and applications in the Tcl contributed archive, which is
currently located in the public FTP directory
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/ >.
There is also a collection of Web pages on Tcl and Tk at the URL
<URL: http://www.scriptics.com/ >.
Questions or problems with any of these distributions should be directed
to the <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl > newsgroup.
------------------------------
From: -XI- Where can I get these packages and what tutorial information is available?
Subject: -B- The Tcl/Tk User Contributions Archive
Contributions to the Tcl/Tk Contrib Archive are most welcome --
please upload them to:
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/incoming/ >
send the archive maintainer <URL: mailto:tcl-a...@neosoft.com > a
note stating the names of the files you uploaded and a brief description
for the index. Otherwise, you must upload a README.filename along with
your upload. Otherwise, your contribution probably won't get into the
archives.
Users without FTP capability should use one of the following mail-based
FTP services (send mail to the appropriate address with "help" in the
body):
BITNET users: BITFTP <URL: mailto:bit...@pucc.princeton.edu >
Others: <URL: mailto:ftp...@decwrl.dec.com > (DEC ftpmail)
Europe: <URL: mailto:ftp...@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr >
<URL: mailto:mail-...@ftp.tu-clausthal.de >
*WARNING*! The archive maintainer will *NOT* be automatically archiving
anything posted to comp.lang.tcl or previously to the mailing list.
So if you want your nifty porting instructions for getting Tcl up on your
Seiko wrist watch or your pen computer to be saved for others benefit,
be sure to ftp them into the archive.
All submissions should be ftp'ed into the above subdirectory. Please
send <URL: mailto:tcl-a...@neosoft.com > and a short mail message stating
the filename(s) of your contribution and a brief description (for the
Index). If you've posted some code to comp.lang.tcl or the Tcl mailing
list, and you want it to be archived at this site, please deposit it in
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/incoming/ > or mail it in a suitable form
(preferably uuencoded compressed tar file, but a shar file's OK) to
<URL: mailto:tcl-a...@neosoft.com >.
Also, PLEASE include a {packagename}.README file which describes the
contribution.
The Tcl/Tk archive can also be accessed via the World Wide Web (WWW)
with the URL, <URL: http://www.neosoft.com/tcl/ >. Check out this
interface, which provides you the ability to register software, upload
packages via the WWW browser, updated searching functions and more.
Note: I have noticed that some authors prefer to use plain names rather than
version level type names. This means that you should a) make note of when
you get a package, and b) check the archive occasionally to see if a newer
version of the package has appeared.

EMACS itself can be found at
<URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html> and
<URL: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html> among
other places.
<URL: mailto:sn...@cs.cmu.edu> (Sean Levy) has hacked a version of Emacs's
C mode into a tcl-mode.el. He mentions that you must use semi-colons at the
end of each statement to get indentation to work right, but he found that
easier than doing without.
The code is on <URL: ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/snl/pub/tcl-mode.el.z>
(don't forget binary mode) as well as
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/alcatel/distrib/tcl-mode.el.Z>.
<URL: mailto:ju...@kauri.vuw.ac.nz> (Julian Anderson) was also working
on an Emacs Tcl minor mode to fundamental.
<URL: mailto:tro...@busco.lanl.gov> (Tom Tromey) has contributed a tcl.el
which is better than his former tcl-help.el. This is a modified version of
Chris Lindblad's Tcl editing mode. This new editing mode contains the
help code, a tcl interaction mode, menus, font lock support, etc. It
is available on the Emacs Lisp Archive at
<URL: ftp://archive.cis.ohio-state.edu/pub/emacs/elisp-archive/modes/tcl.el.Z>
<URL: http://drip.colorado.edu/%7Etromey/src/tcl.el>,
and on
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/alcatel/extensions/tcl.el.gz>
<URL: mailto:sch...@fb3-s7.math.TU-Berlin.DE> (Gregor Schmid) has written
a major mode for tcl scripts. He posted tcl-mode 1.1 to gnu.emacs.sources
in March and it should be on the Ohio State emacs elisp-archive - but I was
not able to locate it.
The latest version of xemacs (formerly lemacs) mentions that it has
a tcl-mode built in. Use (add-hook 'tcl-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
to turn on color highliting.
Donal K. Fellows <URL: mailto:fell...@cs.man.ac.uk> has an extra elisp
library at <URL: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/%7Efellowsd/tcl/#fontlock> which
provides enhanced syntax highlighting (font lock). An alternative
URL mentioned was <URL: http://r8h.cs.man.ac.uk:800/tcl/>.
Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <URL: mailto:la...@ifi.uio.no> has written Expect
functionality in an elisp package. It is going to be included in Emacs
in a future release. Email the contact about details.
David Schweikert <URL: mailto:dwsc...@stud.ee.ethz.ch> has written a tcl/tk
mode for JED. You can download it at:
<URL: http://www.ee.ethz.ch/%7Edwschwei/jed/tclmode.sl>.
Other editors have syntax highlighting for Tcl. For instance CRISP,
GWD <URL: http://www.gwdsoft.com/>, and some
vi-based editors are frequently mentioned. Also there is moonshine,
which can be found at <URL: http://www.rednecksoft.com/>.

Subject: -E- The tk toolbox project (obsolete)
The Tk Toolbox & Toolchest project.
The Toolchest consisted of convenience routines for Tcl and Tk - a kind of a
ibc for Tcl. The toolchest was a collection of commonly used code and
some specialized code such as file selectors, dialogs that take care of
keyboard traversal through items automatically, etc.
Unfortunately, the development effort has currently come to a stop on this
project and it is not yet known when it will be started again.
There was, at one point in the past, a mailing list for discussion of
the tk toolbox, kindly provided by Ari Lemmke. To subscribe, one wrote a
message with the line:
X-Mn-Admin: join tktools
in the body or header of the message, and sent this message to
<URL: mailto:linux-activ...@niksula.cs.hut.fi> .
Then to write to the list, messages were sent to
<URL: mailto:linux-a...@niksula.cs.hut.fi> with the line
X-Mn-Key: TKTOOLS
added to the header or the body of the message. One especially had to remember
this step when replying to messages from the list.
For more info about the list server (mailnet), one sent
an empty message to <URL: mailto:linux-activ...@niksula.cs.hut.fi> .
Intermediate snapshots were announced on this mailing list.
If you had problems or were willing to donate code or whatever,
you could contact the code maintainer (one of the three main implementors)
at <URL: mailto:tlu...@snakemail.hut.fi> or <URL: mailto:lu...@helsinki.fi> .

Paul E Raines (<URL: mailto:rai...@slac.stanford.edu> has writen some
quick reference guides for Tcl. You may find the web page for them
at <URL: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/%7Eraines/tkref.html>.
He has versions for Tcl 7.4, 7.5, and 8.0. If you go to the
Neosoft site

I believe you will also find a version of the file there.
The tar files contain the TeX and PostScript versions of a 3 column listing
of all widget methods and options and summaries of the wm, winfo, pack,
place and bind commands.
This material is based on work done by
Jeff Tranter <URL: mailto:tra...@pobox.com> to code up quick reference
information in TeX.

Subject: -J- HTML versions of Tcl man pages and FAQ.
Mike Hopkirk <URL: mailto:ho...@x.co.uk> has provided a tar archive of
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) versions of the comp.lang.tcl FAQ, the
Tcl/Tk man pages, index pages for the man pages, and a top level access
page to tie together all the above. It is
<URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/sorted/packages-7.6/info/tclhtml.tar.z>
Note that once these have been untarred, one can use a WorldWideWeb (WWW)
browser such as Mosaic, Lynx, etc. to begin at the Tcl.html page and read
the entire distribution. The original source of this package can be
examined at:
<URL: http://www.sco.com/Technology/tcl/Tcl.html>
Having the package in this way provides a means for those behind a firewall
to examine the docs frozen at this point in time. There are no commitments
to continue providing updates to this package.
The man pages provided here were made using a Perl script called
man2html originally written by <URL: mailto:bcu...@paradyne.com> (Brooks Cutter)
and slightly post processed.
Tom Phelps <URL: mailto:phe...@cs.berkeley.edu> has written a program

o Duane Murphy <URL: mailto:duane_murphy@wc_smtp_knet.WC.Novell.COM>
provided a way for Macintosh users to access the information regarding
Tcl built-in commands via a tool known as ZigRef. It can be found at
<URL: ftp://hitchhiker.space.lockheed.com/pub/TCL/TclBuiltInRef.sea.hqx>.
This version corresponds to Tcl 7.3.
o A commercial tutorial available online can be found at
<URL: http://www.skillshare.com/skillshare/dr/tcl/mod1.html>. Note
that this is a commercial project - see the page for details of cost.
o A PostScript version of the tcl7.6p2/tk4.2p2 manual pages (with page
numbers, generated Table of Contents as well as index) have been
uploaded to neosoft. You will find the following files in
<URL: http://www.neosoft.com/tcl/ftparchive/sorted/info/man/>.
tcl7.6p2-tk4.2p2-man-2ps.README # README for the double sided PS file.
tcl7.6p2-tk4.2p2-man-2ps.tar.gz # The double sided PostScript files.
README # The same as the README above.
tcl.ps # The user's manual pages (388 pages/194 sheets of paper)
tcl-c.ps # The C interface manual pages (342 pages/171 sheets of paper)
tcl7.6p2-tk4.2p2-man-1ps.README # README for the single sided PS file.
tcl7.6p2-tk4.2p2-man-1ps.tar.gz # The single sided PostScript files.
README # The same as the README above.
tcl.ps # The user's manual pages (299 pages/sheets of paper)
tcl-c.ps # The C interface manual pages (251 pages/sheets of paper)
tcl-tk8.0p2-man-1ps.tar.gz and tcl-tk8.0p2-man-2ps.tar.gz are also
available - containing the Tcl/Tk 8.0p2 versions of the man pages for
1 and 2 sided PostScript output.
Some things to note are the following:
1. The PostScript files can be printed on either a LETTER or A4 size
printer.
2. Manual pages that have multiple links are only printed the first
time they are found. The rest of the links have a table of contents
entry that points to the first one.
3. Most linked manual pages are for multiple commands. In the table of
contents the current name is followed by the other name(s)
parenthesized and at a reduced point size.
4. The index is built using the commands name and the items in the
KEYWORDS section of the manual page. The page number in the index
is the first page of the referenced manual page. Commands and the
page they are defined on are shown in bold.
See the individual README files for more specific information.

The following information has been gathered from a variety of sources.
Within the various Tcl FAQs there are references to items in the
form of <URL: http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec.txt>.
These are in a form which are useful to WorldWideWeb (WWW) clients.
But for those unable to use WWW for some reason, there is a modicum
of relief. To access these files via email:
1. Address a message to: <URL: mailto:web...@www.ucc.ie>
2. There is no need for a Subject: line.
3. In the body of the message, type:
GO http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec.txt
4. Any URL can be substituted for the sample above.
Eventually you should get back the file in question.
5. The only restriction is this serves text (HTML and plain) by HTTP
only, no graphics, and no FTP.

From: -XI- Where can I get these packages and what tutorial information is available?
Subject: -P- The patch and gzip commands, along with other useful utilities
The patch command is used to apply updates to a source package. It
assumes that you have the previous version of the source package in
an uncompressed format as well as a file containing one or more modifications
that need to be applied to the original code.
The GNU project's version of the patch command is the one most commonly
used on USENET. The primary archive for this project is
<URL: ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/>. You will find the source code
located at this FTP site. Source code for the gzip package, a very
common compression format used on Unix (files compressed with gzip
typically end in either .gz or .tgz), can be found at this site as
well. For binary versions of either of these programs, you will have
to search what ever the appropriate archive sites are for your
machine.
First, get a version of patch and compile and install it. Then you
might follow a hypothetical scenario such as this:
The tcl8.3/README says "apply them to the source directory"!
$ mkdir /usr/tcl83 # Pick this directory as appropriate
$ cd /usr/tcl83
$ mv $HOME/tcl8.3.0.tar.gz /usr/tcl83/.
$ mv $HOME/tcl8.3.1.patch.gz $HOME/tcl8.3.2.patch.gz /usr/tcl83/.
$ mv $HOME/tcl8.3.3.patch.gz /usr/tcl83/.
$ gzip -d < $PWD/tcl8.3.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd tcl8.3
$ gzip -d < ../tcl8.3.1.patch.gz | patch -p1
$ gzip -d < ../tcl8.3.2.patch.gz | patch -p1
$ gzip -d < ../tcl8.3.3.patch.gz | patch -p1
$ $PWD/configure --prefix=/usr/tcl83
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
assuming your *.gz files all reside in your $HOME directory initially.
This ends up creating a /usr/tcl83/bin, include, and lib directory.
The binary program tclsh8.3 goes into /usr/tcl83/bin .
If you already have gunzip-ed the files in a different directory (such
as /usr/tcl83/patch/), you could use them like this:
$ cd /usr/tcl83/tcl8.3
$ patch -p < ../patch/tcl8.3.1.patch
You will get messages from patch ("hmm, this looks like" and "hunk #n
succeeded") which will scroll off your screen quite fast. One user has
suggested that if you are using Unix, you can use the script command to
keep all of the output in a log file which you can then peruse later.
You should not get rejected, failed, or wrong version messages. If you
get those types of messages, you may have missed a patch that needed to be
made, or may be attempting to patch a version of the files not intended to be
patched, or may be in an incorrect directory, or using a bad version of
patch.
If the patch is being applied later, you will want to execute a "make
clean" before the make without arguments, to be sure that you have
gotten rid of any files which need to be recreated during the install
process.
You need to be careful as well trying to perform make on different
machines - if you have to switch computers between makes, you should
execute a "make distclean" followed by another configure command.
This ensures that the various assumptions made by the configuration
program are accurate. Another alternative would be to create different
subdirectories for each hardware/software platform on which you build
the tcl binaries.
Also, be aware that most patches to date have been built expecting
patch version 2.1. Patch version 2.2 thru 2.3 at least, and perhaps
version 2.4, have had incompatibilities that may fail in peculiar ways.
Also note that at least Solaris 2.5.1 comes with a patch command quite a bit
older than 2.1, and it too is incompatibile with many patch files, causing
many different kinds of failures.
Another command to which <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl> users sometimes are
referred is a command history filter. These are programs which sit between
the user's shell and a program and attempt to provide a history mechanism
to commands which have no such capability. The most frequently mentioned
of these programs is "ile". The master site for the newest version of
ile is <URL: ftp://ftp.inria.fr/system/user/lile-2.0.tar.z>.
Another commonly referred command history program is "fep". The master ftp
site for the source code for it is
<URL: ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/cmd/fep.tar.gz>.
A useful place to begin looking for source code for these and other
programs is <URL: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/> and its mirrors. A WWW site for
this would be <URL: http://www.freebsd.org/>.
Windows users have begun asking how to format and display the man pages
which come with Tcl, Tk and other applications. One recently recommended
tool was CAWF. Cawf v1.0 is a C version of the nroff-like
"Amazingly Workable (text) Formatter. Source & executables are available
at various DOS software archives such as <URL: http://www.execnet.com/>.
With cawf, it seems likely you could format the raw nroff into text.
Another alternative might be <URL: http://web.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/%7Emick/html/>
which is a Perl script which formats raw roff codes into formatted output.
<URL: http://www.parallax.co.uk/%7Erolf/download/manServer.html>
is another of this genre - perl scripts which convert man pages to
html without using nroff.
<URL: http://www-rn.informatik.uni-bremen.de/software/unroff/> is a Scheme
package which translates *roff documents into HTML.
Then, you could go to <URL: http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/> and
pick up the man2html, which will take the formatted files produced
and generate HTML. Or you could get RosettaMan , which is a part of
the TkMan suite.
In the tknt package (which was a port of Tcl/Tk/Tcl-DP/BLT/itcl to
Windows NT, there was included a man2hlp.zip file containing the
free source for a utility which converted the Tcl man pages into WinHelp
pages. There are of course commercial packages that folk will be willing
to sell you for this purpose as well.
The package
<URL: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gro110b.zip> has
a README which begins:
This is a port of GNU Groff version 1.10 to DJGPP v2.01 or later.
It appears to work even under MSDOS, not just Win*.
Find the home page for DJGPP at <URL: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/>.
Another user suggestions locating a package called DOS/DPMI from a simtel
mirror site to find Windows versions of man.exe and groff.
To extract files from gzip'd tar files while using Windows, see Winzip
<URL: http://www.winzip.com/>. I believe there is a free alternative -
perhaps someone will let me know about it.
Another useful utility, this time for the Macintosh folk, is suntar, which can
extract files from a tar file.
I have seen notes indicating that Tcl and Tk can be compiled using the
gcc free compiler in unix as well as Win32 (EGCS, FSF, cygwin32, mingw32)
environments. Also, Win32's lcc should work. See
<URL: http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/%7Ekhan/software/gnu-win32/>

<URL: ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/mirrors/site/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/latest/ >
<URL: ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/latest/ >
In gnu-win32 directon cygnus, fetch either usertools.exe for the user level
Unix-like tools, or cde.exe for the complete C development environment.
At the sourceware web site, pick the full.exe file to install a full
development environment.
Many users mention using the bash shell or other similar shells on their
Windows machines, so that they can get a mechanism similar to #! on Unix
for launching their scripts.
Some users ask about additional sources of icons to use. One person suggests
<URL: http://www.ibm.com/IBM/hci/resources/icons/icons.html>.
Emacs can convert Tcl code into HTML using the M-x htmlize-buffer command
on an Emacs buffer full of Tcl. This requires Hrvoje Niksic's htmlize.el
package. Contact Emil Astrom <URL: mailto:em...@sics.se> if you need help
locating the package.
At least one user has recommended "Noweb" as a program for building
documentation into your Tcl application. See
<URL: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/%7Enr/noweb/intro.html> for more
details.
If you visit <URL: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/%7Eghost/>, you will find
pointers to source and binary distributions (Linux, Windows, MacOS,
other) of PostScript viewing software, useful for viewing a variety of
PostScript versions of man pages, Scriptics' reference manuals, etc.
If you visit <URL: http://www.adobe.com/> you can find a number of binary
versions of acroread, which is a PDF viewer useful for some of the other
reference documents.

Subject: -S- Tutorials on various subjects
Warning: Several of the following sites, unfortunate, do not seem to be
kept up to date with regards to ftp site URLs, reflecting code from the
current versions of Tcl, etc.
There are often questions concerning X security, in particular
relating to Tk's default requirment to refuse to perform send
actions when the user is using xhost rather than xauth for
his/her security. See <URL: http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/documents/ciac2316.html>
for a tutorial on X security. Also see
<URL: http://www.ice.ru/%7Evitus/works/x11.html>
Another good document on Xauth is available at
<URL: ftp://ph-meter.beckman.uiuc.edu/security/xsecurity.ps>
or
<URL: ftp://ph-meter.beckman.uiuc.edu/security/xsecurity.txt>.
Vivek Khera <URL: mailto:kh...@cs.duke.edu> has written a primer on
setting up your environment for xauth (by default a requirement under
Tk 3.3) in the document <URL: ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/sorted/packages-7.6/misc/Xauthority.gz>.
Kevin Kenny <URL: mailto:ken...@crd.ge.com> has also written a document
on how to resolve the xauth situation.
<URL: http://ce-toolkit.crd.ge.com/tkxauth/>
Nat Pryce <URL: mailto:n...@doc.ic.ac.uk> has begun a project to collect
Tcl programming idioms or patterns.

For more information concerning Tcl (see "part1"), (see "part2"),
(see "part3"), (see "part4"), (see "part5").
One source for software mentioned in the catalog is the various
Usenet or comp.lang.tcl article archives - in many cases, the authors
posted their programs to the newsgroup. A Contact address with ??? at
the end means that I was unable to verify the address. Also, Contacts
without addresses or marked as Unknown mean that I had limited to no
information about the contact person. The Updated field indicates
the date when the catalog entry URLs were updated, not when a package itself
was updated. Check the web pages for a package (if available) to see
if any updates to the package has occurred. If you find an update that
should somehow be reflected back into the catalog, drop me a line at

Description: These are Perl 5.000 extensions. Tcl-perl/Tcl-ext allows a Perl
program to create Tcl interpreters, evaluate scripts and files,
dynamically bind commands into them in either C or Perl, manipulate Tcl
variables, tie the variables to Perl variables, etc. It will use a
dynamic libtcl if one is available.
The tkperl5 extends the Tcl-Perl extension to bind in the Tk widgets.
This extension is incompatible with the pTk extension.

<URL: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/reuse/>
<URL: http://www.gtlinc.com/products/languages/ksh/ksh.html>
Description: Tksh is an implementation of the Tcl C library written on
top of ksh93. Tksh emulates the
behavior of Tcl by using the API that is provided for extending ksh93.
This allows Tcl libraries such as Tk to run on top of ksh93
unchanged, making it possible to use shell scripts in place of Tcl
scripts. ksh93 is well suited for use with Tk because it is backward
compatible with sh, making it both easy to learn and easy to extend
existing scripts to provide a graphical user interface. Tksh
allows Tcl scripts to run without modification using the
ksh93 internals.
The latest tksh works with Tcl 7.6 and updates for Tcl 8.x are
hoped for summer 1998.

Description: Perl 5 based binding to the Tk library. All references to
Tcl have been replaced by calls to Perl interpreters. See
the source distribution itself for details of additional
widgets available. Significant portions from Tix, Img, Dash have
been ported (and are supported) as well. The newest version depends on
perl 5.004_04 and Tk v8.0.3 . It at least builds on Unix and
Windows NT platforms (maybe others). An active mailing list
(and gatewayed) USENET newsgroup are available for assistance.
Commonly referred to as perl/Tk or pTk, and
known as TKML in the Perl 5 Modules FAQ.
By telling the perl CPAN interface to install Bundle::Tk, you
should get this package and all of its dependencies built
and installed.
This distribution has a number of sample programs to demonstrate
the module. For instance, there is pfm, a perl tk file-manager like
interface to emacs, ptknews (a GUI perl newsreader),
tkpsh (the perl/tk equivalent to wish), toyedit (a text
widget editor), browse (simple file browser front end to
emacs), color_editor (frontend to Tk::ColorEditor), ixset
(perl GUI interface to xset), pgs (perl/tk frontend to
Ghostscript), rmt (remote control application), rolodex
(a perl tk interface to notes), timer (a seconds based timer),
tkpod (perl/Tk GUI pod viewer), and tkweb (a perl/Tk demo
of doing WWW browsing).
Also includes a tcl2perl perl script which is not foolproof but
is a good start if you expect to do hand tweaking as well.
The csiro.au ftp site had a precompiled version of Perl 5.003/Tk b12
for RedHat v3.0.3 for Linux (perhaps newer is available now).
See the Cornell site for the pTk FAQ and documentation and
the BNL site for archives of the mailing list.
See _The Perl Journal_ site (tpj.com) for an archive of articles and
sample code describing perl Tk.
See the Sarathy CPAN directory for a binary distribution of pTk
ported to Windows 95/NT.
At the dcs UK site, you can find Redhat 5.0 RPM versions of pTk.
The RPM covers Perl/Tk 8.11 for i386 RedHat Linux.
The connect site is a perl Tk module list.
