From: FAQ General information
Subject: -VIII- Are there any mailing lists covering topics related to Tcl/Tk?

There are quite a number of mailing lists which cover topics
relating to the Tcl community. As you begin one, if you will send
me information relating to the mailing list, I will add it below.

o Basic Object Systems (BOS)

BOS is a SELF-like objects extension to Tcl.

To join, send email to <URL:mailto:snl+bos-...@cmu.edu> and then
send messages to <URL:mailto:snl...@cmu.edu> .

o Comp.Lang.Tcl by email

For those Usenet-deprived individuals who are thus unable
to read comp.lang.tcl, an email alternative is available.
If you get comp.lang.tcl you do not need to sign up for this list.

A service called "listserv" is being run out of CERN to forward
comp.lang.tcl postings via e-mail to people who don't have direct
access to the newsgroup. In addition, they are archiving the newsgroup
so you can retrieve old postings from them. Here is some more
information about the service.

1) send a mail to <URL:mailto:list...@listbox.cern.ch> with one line
in the body:

subscribe comp-lang-tcl

2) unsubscribe by a mail to <URL:mailto:list...@listbox.cern.ch> with
one line in the body:

unsubscribe comp-lang-tcl

o Copenhagen SGML Tool (CoST) mailing list

CoST is a beta level tool designed to enhance sgmls so as to
add additional flexibility in processing SGML documents.

To join, send email to <URL:mailto:Klaus...@euromath.dk>.
Actual messages apparently go to <URL:mailto:cost...@math.ku.dk>.

o Dejagnu

This set of mailing lists are NOT maintained by Cygnus, the
developers of Dejagnu.

Dejagnu is an expect 5.x based package designed to be a framework
for testing other software. Test suites exist for various GNU
products such as GDB and binutils.

3 mailing lists - dejagnu-bugs, dejagnu-developers, and
dejagnu-questions - have been created as a part of the
yggdrasil.com listserv.

To subscribe, send the line:

subscribe dejagnu-bugs your...@yoursite.com

to the email address <URL:mailto:list...@yggdrasil.com> where you
put your own email address in place of your...@yoursite.com and you
put the name of the mailing list you wish to join after subscribe.

o Exmh

exmh is a GUI for MH mail. It is available at
<URL:ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/exmh/>

There are 3 mailing lists:

To subscribe and unsubscribe to:

o the release and patch notice mailing list, send email to:
<URL:mailto:exmh-annou...@parc.xerox.com> .

o the release/patch notices, user discussion and programmer
discussions, send mail to
<URL:mailto:exmh-worke...@parc.xerox.com>

Be sure to include the word subscribe or unsubscribe as
appropriate. Include your preferred email address if you
want to be sure it is used.

o Groupkit

To subscribe to the Groupkit mailing list, which deals with
an extension to Tcl enabling real-time groupware development, drop
your email request to
<URL:mailto:groupkit-us...@cpsc.ucalgary.ca> or send
bug and feedback to <URL:mailto:groupk...@cpsc.ucalgary.ca>.

o ical

Two mailing lists have been set up for ical-related information.
Ical is a calendar application written using the Tk toolkit.

Send mail to one of the two addresses below to be added to the
mailing lists.

<URL:mailto:ical-annou...@lcs.mit.edu>
<URL:mailto:ical-r...@lcs.mit.edu>

*** Do not forget the "-request" part!!! ***

The two mailings lists are:

o <URL:mailto:ical-a...@lcs.mit.edu>
This list will get announcements about releases of ical
(including beta releases), and other announcements of
high interest to ical installers/users/hackers. The
traffic on this list should be fairly low.

o <URL:mailto:ic...@lcs.mit.edu>
This list will be used for general discussion about ical.
Mail sent to "ical-announce" will be automatically
forwarded here, so you do not have to subscribe to
both lists.

o incr tcl

A mailing list used to discuss itcl 2.0 is available.

To subscribe, send a message with subject "subscribe" to:

<URL:mailto:itcl-r...@fuentez.com>

Non-administrative traffic should be sent to:

<URL:mailto:it...@fuentez.com>

o incr tcl - distributed version

This is a mailing list for discussion of a distributed processing
version of incr tcl.

To join send a message to

<URL:mailto:mail...@mailbase.ac.uk>

From: FAQ General information
Subject: -IX- Where can I find the FAQ and who do I contact for more
information about it?

I am going to attempt to keep a copy of this file up to date on
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/docs/tcl-faq.part0[1-5].gz>. There
are mirrors of the user contribution archive site maintained elsewhere - for
instance, it appears that cs.huji.il, ftp.denet.dk, ftp.luth.se,
hplyot.obspm.fr, rs3.hrz.th-darmstadt.de, sunsite.unc.edu,
swdsrv.edvz.univie.ac.at all have some portion of the user contrib archives
available. Also, I will be posting it on a regular basis to at least
comp.lang.tcl, news.answers, and comp.answers. I also plan on trying
to keep pointers to HTML versions of the FAQs at
<URL:http://www.teraform.com/%7Elvirden/tcl-faq/>.

Many FAQs, including this one, 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>.

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.

in the rtfm.mit.edu archive), sorted by country, are:

Various Uniform Resource Locator (URL) ids for the comp.lang.tcl FAQ
exist. The first was the Ohio State server at
<URL:http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/tcl-faq/top.html>
which has moved to some degree to
<URL:http://www.smartpages.com/bngfaqs/comp/lang/tcl/top.html>.
Neither of the above two servers maintain adequate currency of the FAQs
at this time.

Another 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>.
My copy is found at <URL:http://www.teraform.com/%7Elvirden/tcl-faq/>.
The user can use a WorldWideWeb (WWW) client to access the Tcl FAQ from
this point.

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 past few months of the newsgroup is available from
<URL:ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/archive/usenet/comp.lang.tcl/>.
A good place to start looking through this archive is
<URL:ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/usenet-archives/comp.lang.tcl/+Index>
which contains a list of all the filenames and subject lines of each of the
articles. Another archive available is <URL:ftp://olive.kek.jp/pub/tcl/News/>
where the archive is organized by collecting each month's worth of postings
into it's own file. This archive has been kept since January 1993.

A new source of the FAQ! Thanks to
Taguchi Takeshi <URL:mailto:tag...@fox.aic.co.jp> we now have the
comp.lang.tcl FAQ translated into Japanese. It may even be readable
using the Japanized version of Tk. You may find it at
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/docs/tcl-faq-j5.1.tar.gz> as well as
<URL:http://tanaka-www.cs.titech.ac.jp/%7Ekumano/Tcl-FAQs/tcl-faq.html>.
As new versions are translated, the version number will change
(obviously).

There is a new Tcl room on Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Contact
Don Lindsay <URL:mailto:d...@metroatlanta.com> for details on the #TCL room.

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?

One ftp archive of <URL:news:comp.lang.tcl> is available from
<URL:ftp://csc.canberra.edu.au/pub/motif/comp.lang.tcl/>.
<URL:mailto:j...@ise.canberra.edu.au> (Jan Newmarch) maintains it. It appears
to be inactive at this time, having no updates since 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).

Two interesting ways to access a portion of the newsgroup is
<URL:http://ecsdg.lu.se/cgi-bin/wwwnntp?comp.lang.tcl> and
<URL:http://dejanews.com/>. The first gives you access to a small number
of recent news articles. The latter gives one the ability to search
the articles posted during the last month. 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://www.altavista.digital.com/>
one gets the ability to do searches of a

Subject: -XI- Where can I get these packages?

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.

tcl7.4.tar.Z - This is the newest stable release of the Tcl
scripting language, released in July 1995. It
includes the sources for the Tcl library and the
"tclsh" application, plus reference manual entries.

tcl7.4.tar.gz - Same as tcl7.4.tar.Z except compressed with gzip
instead of compress.

tcl7.4p1.patch.gz - Compressed patch file that fixes several bugs
found in Tcl 7.4. Released July 29, 1995. See
<URL:http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl/4.0.html>
for instructions on applying.

tcl7.4p2.patch.gz - Compressed patch file that fixes several bugs
found in Tcl 7.4. Released September 19, 1995.
See <URL:http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl/4.0.html>
for instructions on applying.

SpecTcl-0.1a.tar.Z
SpecTcl-0.1a.tar.gz These files contain the alpha release of SpecTcl,
a graphical user interface builder for TK. SpecTcl
requires TK4.1a2 to run, as well as a modified
version of the BLT blt_table geometry manager, which
is included in the release. The releases without the
"a" were missing a couple of files and have been
withdrawn.

SpecTcl-0.1_patch_a.gz This is a gzipped patch file to upgrade
SpecTcl-0.1.tar.gz to SpecTcl-0.1a.tar.gz. cd to
SpecTcl-0.1, and pipe the patch file to
gunzip | patch -p1

html_library-0.1.tar.gz Simple HTML parser and displayer, written entirely
in Tcl. Gzip-ed tar file.

html_library-0.3.tar.gz Enhanced version of html_library-0.1.tar.gz
Supports all HTML/2.0 features, including
forms.

mx.tar.Z - Sources and documentation for a mouse-based text
editor (mx) and terminal emulator (tx) based on
Tcl. This is a very old release: it uses an old
version of Tcl (which is included) and doesn't
even use Tk; it uses an ancient toolkit called
"Sx". These tools will eventually be replaced
with new tools based on Tk and the newest Tcl.

mx-2.5.tar.Z - Newer version of mx (see above) that uses the
standard X selection mechanism rather than the
homegrown mechanism used by previous versions.
Version 2.5 is not backwards compatible with
previous versions (you can't cut and paste between
the two). Still uses sx and an old version of
Tcl (both of which are included).

mx-2.5.patch.Z - Patch file for converting mx 2.4 sources into 2.5.
Invoke patch in the top-level mx directory
with the "-p1" switch and an uncompressed version of
this file, e.g. "patch -p1 < mx-2.5.patch".

engManual.tar.Z - Compressed tar file for a directory containing
the Tcl/Tk Engineering Manual, which describes
the coding and testing conventions used to develop
Tcl and Tk. I strongly encourage other Tcl/Tk
developers to follow these conventions, particularly
if you want to submit code for possible inclusion
into official releases.

book.examples.Z - Compressed file containing ASCII text for nearly all of the examples from the book "Tcl and the Tk Toolkit".

tclUsenix90.ps - Postscript for a paper on Tcl that appeared in the
Winter 1990 USENIX Conference.

tkUsenix91.ps - Postscript for a paper on Tk that appeared in the
Winter 1991 USENIX Conference.

tkF10.ps - Postscript for Figure 10 of the Tk paper.

tut.tar.Z - A collection of materials from a full-day tutorial
on Tcl and Tk. Includes viewgraphs from four
one-hour talks.

In addition, there may be older releases of some or all of the above
files; look for files with earlier release numbers.

Be sure to retrieve files in image mode (type "type image" to FTP)
in order to make sure that you don't lose bits.

Most of these files are compressed tar files; to get back the
original directory hierarchies, type a command like the following for
each file you retrieved:
zcat tk4.0.tar.Z | tar xf -
This will create a directory named tk4.0 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 tk4.0.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 on the machine ftp.aud.alcatel.com in the public
FTP directory /tcl.

There is also a collection of Web pages on Tcl and Tk at the URL
<URL:http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl>.

Questions or problems with any of these distributions should be directed

to <URL:news:comp.lang.tcl>.

SCCS Id: @(#) README 1.7 95/10/11 11:05:01

Any file with a .gz extension is a file compressed with gzip, the GNU
portable compression standard. Get a copy from to
<URL:ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/>. For example, to uncompress tk4.0.tar.gz,
type

gunzip tk4.0.tar.gz

once you've retrieved the file. This will produce a file named "tk4.0.tar".

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.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/incoming/>

send the archive maintainer <URL:mailto:t...@ftp.aud.alcatel.com> a
note stating the names of the files you uploaded and a brief description
for the index.

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:t...@ftp.aud.alcatel.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
/tcl/incoming or mail it in a suitable form (preferably uuencoded
compressed tar file, but a shar file's OK) to
<URL:mailto:t...@ftp.aud.alcatel.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://web.cs.ualberta.ca/%7Ewade/HyperTcl/>.

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.

Subject: -D- EMACS modes for Tcl

<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 [128.2.214.236]
<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.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/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:c...@lcs.mit.edu> (Chris Lindblad) has contributed tcl.el,
a Tcl mode for GNU emacs. It's address is
<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/extensions/tcl.el>.

<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>

and on

<URL:ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/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 archive.cis.ohio-state.edu - but I am not able to
locate it.

The latest version of xemacs (formerly lemacs) mentions that it has
a tcl-mode built in.

Subject: -E- The tk toolbox project

The Tk Toolbox & Toolchest project.

The Toolchest consists of convenience routines for Tcl and Tk - a kind of a
libc for Tcl. The toolbox is 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.

The project has currently not yet reached a usable state, but each formal
release will be announced in comp.lang.tcl as well as other newsgroups.

There has been, in the past, a mailing list for discussion of the tk toolbox,
kindly provided by Ari Lemmke. To subscribe, write a message with the line:
X-Mn-Admin: join tktools

in the body or header of the message. Send this message to
<URL:mailto:linux-activ...@niksula.cs.hut.fi> .

To write to the list, send messages to
<URL:mailto:linux-a...@niksula.cs.hut.fi> and add the line
X-Mn-Key: TKTOOLS
to the header or the body of the message. Especially remember this when
replying to messages from the list.

For more info about the list server (mailnet), write
an empty message to <URL:mailto:linux-activ...@niksula.cs.hut.fi> .

The intermediate snapshots are announced on this mailing list.

If you have problems or are willing to donate code or whatever,
you can contact the code maintainer (one of the three main implementors)
at <URL:mailto:tlu...@snakemail.hut.fi> or <URL:mailto:lu...@helsinki.fi> .

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.

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.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/docs/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 RosettaMan,
which allows one to translate man pages into many formats, including
HTML. (see "tcl-faq/part4") for details.

<URL:mailto:r...@elf.org> (Roger Critchlow) has built HTML versions of
the Tcl 7.5a1 and Tk 4.1a1 man pages, adding links for various
things that wasn't already present. One can find these interatively
at <URL:http://www.elf.org/tcltk-man-html/contents.html> as well as at

Subject: -O- http files without a WWW client

Within the various TCL FAQs there are references to items in the
form of http://host.name/path/to/file . 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.

For more information about accessing internet files via e-mail, pick up
a copy of the following document:
