Where can I find a version of TCL for DOS?
I am writing an embedded system in MSC.
Source or library binaries will do.

Numerous ports to DOS are available. One unsupported port to
MS-DOS of Tcl and Extended Tcl V6.0a, done by
<URL:mailto:Ka...@NeoSoft.com> (Karl Lehenbauer), is available on
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/distrib/dostcl.zoo> for binaries
and
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/distrib/dostcl60.zoo> for source.

A port of Tcl V6.2 to MS-DOS was done by
<URL:mailto:jo...@cajal.uoregon.edu> (John Martin) and is available
via FTP
from <URL:ftp://cajal.uoregon.edu/pub/tcl.dos.port/> and
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/distrib/tcl62.dos.tar.Z>.

A source code only port of Tcl V6.7 to MS-DOS, done by
<URL:mailto:PSP...@CIPVAX.BIOLAN.UNI-KOELN.DE> (Peter Sprenger), is
available
from him, somewhere on wuarchive.wustl.edu or as
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/distrib/tcl67dos.zip>.

A port of Tcl, version 7.3, to MS-DOS, done by
<URL:mailto:tpo...@advtech.uswest.com> (Tom Poindexter), is available
as
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/distrib/mstcl73e.zip> and
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/distrib/mstcl73s.zip>. This
also includes TclX 7.3a and Tk ported to Desqview/X libraries.

A port of Tcl, V6.1 ?, done by unknown, to MS-DOS Windows
V 3.1 ?, is available as binary at
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/distrib/w_tclbin.zip> and as source
at
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/distrib/w_tclsrc.zip>.

A package to take a Tcl source distribution and port it cleanly
to MS-DOS, so that it can be compiled has been written by
<URL:mailto:byen...@east.sun.com> (Bob Yennaco). It is available as
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/distrib/tcl2dos.sh.gz>

An MS-DOS Windows DLL instance of Tcl 6.2 was generated by
<URL:mailto:u...@oliver.sublink.org> (Ugo Cei). Contact him for more
details.

A Windows DLL was made by <URL:mailto:ek...@prakinf.tu-ilmenau.de>
(Ekkehard Beier) by slightly modifying a DOS 6.2 Tcl port. There are
still
problems with the system/WinExec command. A very rudimentary Debugger
User Interface using Borland's Classlib is part of the zip-file, too.
The source was used also with BC3.1++/AF on MS W3.1. You can get a
copy from
<URL:ftp://metallica.prakinf.tu-ilmenau.de/pub/DOS/wintcl.zip>
via anonymous ftp. Unfortunately Ekki doesn't have time currently to
finish the Windows port and user Interface.

<URL:mailto:ha...@sra.co.jp> (Toshihiko Haga) and
<URL:mailto:miy...@sra.co.jp> (Shigeaki Miyata)
announced twin (tcl/tk for MS-Windows), which does not support exec
and
send, but supports a -bitmap for Windows .bmp files. A few other
modifications or special exceptions are noted. This package's files
can be found at
<URL:ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/lang/tcl/{twinesrc,twinebin}.zip> and
<URL:ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/lang/tcl/{twinesrc,twinebin}.doc>.

<URL:mailto:k...@ms.uky.edu> (Professor Ken K. Kubota) has
announced a port of Tcl 7.3 and Tk3.6a to MS DOS Windows using Borland
C++ 4.0. Fetch the README files from the ftp sites
<URL:ftp://ftp.ms.uky.edu/pub/tk-win/{tkwinbin,tkwin,fedloc}.zip> for
more information.

Omar Stanford <URL:mailto:om...@fcm.missouri.edu> reported in
March of 1994 that he had almost completed his port of Tcl 7.3
to MS-Windows 3.1. He had incorporated extensions for networking
(including NetWare), Windows Sockets, and many Windows API functions.
He also was working on a facility for dynamically allocating commands
to the Tcl environment. If there are other extensions that one would
like to see under Windows 3.1, or if you are interested in beta
testing, drop him a line.

Also, Simon Kenyon <URL:mailto:si...@news.itc.icl.ie> of the
Information Technology Centre, Dublin, IRELAND, mentions that they
are starting to port Tk to MS-Windows. There is a mailing list (see
"tcl-faq/part2") for folk who are interested.

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).
As of this
date, I have no leads on anyone porting Tk to any version of OS/2.
There are
some OS/2 X client support kits available for purchase, which might
make it
easier to port Tk.

Also (see "tcl-faq/part4"), the Tcl programs/packages catalog,
for the latest port locations.
