This is a snapshot of a number of useful references for TCL/Tk in a form
usable by XMosaic. I've added a html page to act as a top level for
these references ( and some pretty images from the Cover competition for Dr
John's Book).
Updates since the last upload incude
Updated FAQ pages
New HTML man pages giving a format closer to the original man pages
and use of bold and italic fonts.
( the scripts that generate these are in w3g - files
tk2html and tk2html.awk )
Some additional references to Tcl/Tk sites.
Probably the most useful parts are a mirror of the TCL/TK FAQ (as at Feb 23 )
and html versions of the TCL and Tk man pages.
I've made all the link references into relative ones into the distribution
tree - If you find any links that don't work when transplanted to a different
root please let me know. If you need to modify any link values for some
reason theres a script - fixURL - that may be helpful
( if only as a starting point - its probably not so useful now the links
are not full pathnames )
The w3get directory has a number of scripts that I used to
a) get the TCL FAQ locally from ohio state
b) convert the TCL man pages to html files
c) generally tidy up after doing the above
( none of these are my work - I dipped them from the netstream and tweaked them
slightly for my setup and convenience, I've supplied the original unmodified
scripts for any subsequent use - many thanks to the original contributors )
The file tree layout is as follows
tcl
+-----tclAPI_man man pages for tcl C API
+-----tclFAQ FAQ Pages
| +-----part1
| +-----part2

The directory tcl contains the toplevel html 'index' page ( Tcl.html ),
indexes for the man page directories ( T*_man.html ) and some images for
the index page.
INSTALLATION
1) Get a hold of this tar archive - tclhtml.tar
2) tar it off somewhere
cd mytclInfo; tar xvf tclhtml.tar
3) Make a link from your current html files to the top level html
entry file Tcl.html ( or access it directly from xmosaic )
e.g. assuming installation in dir mytclInfo which is accessable from server
myhttpserver.co the URL would be
TCL
THere is an xmosaic access point to this distribution from the IXI home
page at URL
( Its the entry named 'TCL documentation and references' under the heading
'Of Interest')
The URL for this page is :
FOLLOWUP
The information and links here are pretty minimal but it
provides a reasonable start for growth.
If anyone has any other sites or references for useful Tk/Tcl info in
html, ftp or any other form that they think should be advertised
could they please mail either me ( hops@x.co.uk )
and/or the TCL FAQ maintainer (Larry W Virden - lwv26@xas.org)
