wishx is the Extended Tcl's version of wish. You can get the distribution
from ftp.neosoft.com in /languages/tcl/distrib/

Wishx is the version of wish (Tk's interrpeter(?)) that is created when you
install tclX ( extended tcl ).
It contains all the commands from the normal tcl & tk but it also has a couple
of new commands.
You can get tclX from ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/tcl/distributin i think.

Many of these were not included in the basic Tcl package because
they are specific to Unix. Here is a partial list:

dirs, pushd, popd, echo -- similar to C shell

cmdtrace, profile -- debugging

alarm, chgrp, chmod, chown, chroot,
dup, execl, fcntl, flock, fork, fstat,
kill, link, mkdir, nice, pipe, rmdir,
select, signal, sleep, system, sync,
times, umask, unlink, wait -- similar to Unix system calls

server_open, server_info -- TCP/IP server access

scancontext, scanfile, scanmatch -- file scanning

abs, acos, asin, atan2, atan, ... -- math library

intersect, lassign, lmatch, union -- list functions

keyldel, keylget, keylkeys, keylset -- keyed (association) list functions

cequal, cindex, clength, crange,
csubstr, ctoken, cexpand, ctype,
replicate, translit -- character string functions

It's worthwhile to have this package linked in, even if you only use a
small portion of it. I find the Unix calls and the keyed list functions
most valuable in my work.
