- This directory contains the Tcl 6.2 distribution for the Macintosh.
- You are encouraged to install support for Tcl into your Mac applications.
- This distribution contains a number of very nice Macintosh extensions.
- Globbing is supported in a more Mac-like way. A number of dialogs
- are available through tcl commands. In addition, this package will
- assist you in providing support for standard AppleEvents to allow
- you to communicate with other Tcl applications.
-
- It is also designed to ease the process of integrating Tcl. We desire
- to see a body of apps which all support Tcl in a compatible way, supporting
- the same extensions.
-
- This release includes the full Tcl 6.2 distribution. Macintosh extensions
- are primarily in tclMac.c. The file stat.c contains an implementation of
- the stat() function for the Mac. For THINK C users, a very weak
- implementation of iocntl() is included as well.
-
- Some of TclX is included here. See Xmath.c et al.
-
- Please read the comments in tclMac.c. They are the primary documention
- and assistance.
-
- TclShell.[ch] and TclPane.[ch] contain the code for a THINK Class Library
- object which provides a user interface for a simple Tcl shell. This
- code comes from Harvest C.
-
- Who to gripe at :
-
- Tim Endres wrote most of the Mac stuff and did the original Mac port.
- endres@ice.com
- Eric Sink cleaned up the stuff, ported it to THINK C, and did the TclShell
- e-sink@uiuc.edu
- Pete Keleher wrote some of the code here. Don't blame him for anything.
