What: Objective-Framework, ObjectiveBrowser Where: http://www.tiptop.com/ ftp://ftp.tiptop.com/pub/Objective/ObjSys.pkg.tar ftp://ftp.tiptop.com/pub/ObjectiveTcl/ObjTcl-pkg.3.0.tar ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Vendors/TipTop_Software/ObjSys.pkg.tar Description: An evaluation copy of a commercial product which provides true language independence to the Objective-C object model. It profides a seamless integration of the Objective-C runtime system with other languages. With OF, one gets Objective-Tcl and Objective-Perl, or one can purchase Objective-Tcl or Objective-Perl separately. ObjectiveBrowser is a graphical development tool allowing live objects within a running application to be viewed in many object-specific ways. Note that rumors are the licensing has changed recently, making it easier to use TipTop packages for non-commercial purposes.

One of the two palettes included in this release is WWTCLWidgets one take on how to integrate Tcl into the NeXTSTEP development environment. The other palette makes use of the Tcl widget palette. The other WavesWorld palettes, on ftp://media.mit.edu/pub/WavesWorld/ , integrate Tcl into IB, complete with a suite of UI objects, and a 3D modeling language called eve, which is basically Tcl with a full RenderMan binding. The WWTCLWidgetsPalette includes a WWTCLInterp, which is an objective-C wrapper around a Tcl interp. Updated: Contact: mailto:[email protected] (Michael B. Johnson)
