This is a compilation of the documentation for Tcl/Tk and the most
commonly used extensions and libraries on Windows. Advantages over
various other documentation sources are:

- Comprehensive, detailed table of contents. In particular, Tcl commands
or C functions within a single page have individual entries. For example,
+ Subcommands, such as string match
+ Widget options, such as -activebackground
+ Options and specifiers, such as %f focus specifier
all have their own entries.

- A combined and detailed index makes it easy and quick to locate
specific information. For example,
+ Typing <<MenuSelect>> will take you to the description for that event
+ Typing %EE links directly to the description of that clock command
specifier
+ Typing 'connection' will show the entries for TDBC as well as the
IIRC package
+ Typing 'string match' will directly take you to the subcommand
description.

- Full text content search.

Documentation for the following distributions are included:

Tcl/Tk 8.6 (as of 2012/12/14)
Tcl Windows API 3.1
Tcllib 1.14
Tklib 0.5
Thread 2.6
Tcl Database Connectivity (TDBC)
TDOM 0.8.2

Sorry, but this CHM file can't be opened on my workstation:

"Cannot open the file:
mk:@MSITStore:c:\...}tcl8.6b3-twapi4.0a10-combinded-help.chm."

Sincerely I don't know why.

Best regards,

Martin

Could it be because the file name is misspelled?

No %-{

it was truncated during download ... or the download was interrupted.

I just re-download and ... tada ... everything is nice.

I didn't think of this case.

Thanks for making me "thinking"!
