This directory contains a collection of files related to Tcl and
Tk, all of which are available for anonymous FTP. Below is a
description of what is in the various files in this directory:
tk4.1b2.tar.Z - This is the most recent release of Tk. It is
the second beta release of Tk 4.1, which supports
Windows and Mac platforms. It was released on
February 23, 1996, and includes the sources for the
Tk library and the "wish" windowing shell, plus
reference manual entries and a number of demonstration
scripts.
tk4.1b2.tar.gz - Same as tk4.1b2.tar.Z except compressed with gzip
instead of compress.
tcl75b2.zip Same as tcl7.5b2.tar.Z except archived with the
zip utility, instead of compress.
tcl7.5b2.tar.Z - This is the most recent release of Tcl. It is
the second beta release of Tcl 7.5, which supports
Windows and Mac platforms. It was released on
February 23, 1996, and includes the sources for the
Tcl library and the "tclsh" application, plus
reference manual entries.
tcl7.5b2.tar.gz - Same as tcl7.5b2.tar.Z except compressed with gzip
instead of compress.
tk41b2.zip Same as tk4.1b2.tar.Z except archived with the
zip utility, instead of compress.
win41b2.exe This is the binary release of Tk 4.1b2 and Tcl
7.5b2 for Windows (Win32s, Windows 95, or
Windows NT). Execute this file under Windows
to install the Tcl and Tk libraries, executables,
and documentation.
w32s125.exe - This self-extracting archive contains the
setup files for Win32s v1.25, which is needed when
running Tcl and Tk on PCs under Windows 3.1.
Execute this file on a Windows 3.1 PC to extract
the Win32s setup files. Once this is done, run
the new setup.exe file to install the Win32s system.
unz512xN.exe - UnZip version 5.12 for Win32. This is a free
unzip utility for Windows NT and 95 that
supports long file names. You can use this
program to unzip the source distribution files
with a .zip extension.
win31-sample-ext.tar.Z This file contains a sample Tcl extension for
Borland C++ 4.5.
win31-sample-ext.tar.gz Same as win31-sample-ext.tar.Z except

mactk4.1b2.sea.hqx - Pre-compiled binaries of Tk 4.1b2 and Tcl 7.5b2
for the Macintosh (both 68k & PowerPC platforms).
The file is in binhex format, which is understood
by Fetch, StuffIt, and many other Mac utilities.
The unpacked file is a self-installing archive:
double-click on it and it will create a folder
containing all you need to run Tcl/Tk on a Macintosh.
mac - This subdirectory contains several other useful
things for the Macintosh, such as source releases
organized for easy installation on Macs.
tk4.0.tar.Z - This is the newest stable release of the Tk

SpecJava-0.2bin.tar.gz
A binary release of SpecJava for solaris 2.4
these files contain a wish binary, and SpecTcl
configured for Java support
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
http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl.
Questions or problems with any of these distributions should be directed
to the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup.
