Hello,
I'm new to TCL/TK. I'm looking for a (free) Windows version of TCL/TK. As far as I understand TCK/TK is free software.
It seems this site http://wiki.tcl.tk/668 has a list of known distributions.
I chose to download (tcltk86-8.6.1-3.x86_64.tcl86.tgz) Tombert's TCLTK for Windows7 (32bit). I noticed that there are files with an 86 at the end which seem to be indentical to those without the 86 at the end.
E.g.
md5sum wish86.exe => 6884918029faf5f5303cfd6d8f3b8e26
md5sum wish.exe => 6884918029faf5f5303cfd6d8f3b8e26
What is the meaning of this?

"86" is a short form of Tcl version "8.6". You could have multiple

versions of Tcl/Tk on the same system and you would use `wishXY' for
executing `wish' version "X.Y". `wish' without a trailing number would
be the "default" version.

Hi,
those files are identical. I did this just for fun - so when you look into your task-manager you immediately see you have version 86 running. Also you could have it in your PATH environment. So calling "wish" you might call accidentally the wrong version. By using "wish85" or "wish86" you make sure it is the correct one.
