- I. INTRODUCTION
-
- Visual Tcl is a freely-available, high-quality application development
- environment for UNIX, Windows and Macintosh platforms. Written entirely
- in Tcl and generating pure Tcl should make porting either unnecessary or
- trivial. Visual Tcl is covered by the GNU General Public License insuring
- that it will remain in the capable hands of the internet community. Please
- read the LICENSE file for more information.
-
-
- II. INSTALLATION
-
- o Unzip or untar Visual Tcl into a permanent location. On Unix, I
- recommend /usr/local/vtcl or /usr/vtcl. On Windows, a good default
- is "C:\vtcl". On Macintosh, I recommend you do this inside of the
- folder in which Tcl/Tk was installed. It is important to note that
- on Windows, you must use WinZip (www.winzip.com) or another zip
- which supports long file names and nested directories. This is the
- most common difficulty Windows users encounter.
-
-
- UNIX
-
- o edit "vtcl" shell script
- Change PATH_TO_WISH to the location of the wish binary
- Change VTCL_HOME to the directory from step 1.
-
- o Put vtcl in your path (/usr/local/bin or /usr/bin) or change your
- path to include ${VTCL_HOME)
-
- o Make sure your DISPLAY environment variable is set and type "vtcl".
-
-
- WINDOWS 95 and NT
-
- o If you wish to create "shortcuts" to the vt.tcl icon, make sure
- you edit the "startup directory" to the base installation directory
- for Visual Tcl.
-
- o You will need to associate all ".tcl" files with the Wish appplication.
-
- o Double-click on "vt.tcl" icon.
-
-
- MACINTOSH
-
- o Start the Wish shell interpreter.
-
- o "cd" to the Folder in which Visual Tcl was installed.
-
- o type "source vtclmac".
-
-
- III. REQUIREMENTS
-
- Tcl7.6 and Tk4.2 or newer. You can obtain a copy for most platforms
- from http://sunscript.sun.com/
