Can someone tell me what Tcl/Tk is? Also, where can I get further
info about it?
Tcl is an abbrevation for "Tool Command Language" and is pronounced
"tickle". Tcl is a very fast, neat, interpreted, embedded language
invented by John Ousterhout (······@cs.berkeley.edu).
Tk is an extension to Tcl which provides the programmer an extension
to a window system. The combination of Tcl and Tk is very powerful and
is often used through "wish", a windowing shell. There are wish'es
available for many major window systems. Please note that it's also
possible to impliment Tcl/Tk using their respective C libraries.
If you want more information, I'd recommend you to get the drafts on
Ousterhouts book on Tcl/tk from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:/ucb/tcl. Source
code and other papers/packages are also available in this dir. Much
information and Tcl/Tk related packages are also available on
harbor.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/tcl.
Hope this helps.
