- Tcla stands for Tool Command Language - Amiga, and it provides several
- commands (via the C interface) that have been added to Tcl to support
- Amigas, including support for CLI commands, windows, menus, resources,
- file requesters, alerts and message passing between Tcla programs.
- Tcla was created by Karl Lehenbauer of Hackercorp.
-
- This package contains both Tcl and Tcla, packaged as an Amiga shared
- library, tcla.library. The Tcla code is copyrighted by Hackercorp,
- but we allow redistribution for any purpose subject to minimal
- requirements regarding maintaining copyright and disclaimer messages.
-
- tcla.library, in addition to providing the basic capabilities of Tcl, has
- additional support for many Amiga-specific functions, such as executing
- CLI commands and getting the result back as a string, opening and
- manipulating windows and processing window events, file requesters, alerts,
- support for menus and gadgets, and provides sharable Tcl-based handles to
- various application-specific data entities (resource banks). Further, all
- Tcla programs have the ability to send and receive Tcl commands to and
- from other Tcla programs. (See the Tcla documentation, or help within
- Tcla.
