Tcl-DP , short for Tcl Distributed Programming, adds TCP, UDP, IP-multicast connection management, remote procedure call (RPC), serial communication and distributed object protocols to Tcl. A C API allows non-Tcl RPC clients to send commands to an RPC server and receive responses.

Description
Tcl Distributed Programming, a public domain extension which adds TCP/IP connection management, remote procedure call and distributed object protocols to Tcl/Tk. Tcl-DP 4.0 is now dynamically loadable for Tcl 7.6 that adds support for TCP, UDP, IPM, serial ports, email as well as the ability to perform RPCs over any channel. It has been tested on SunOS 4.1.3, Solaris 2.5, Linux 2.0.29, HP-UX 9.05, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 95.
The roseman file is an alpha port of Tcl-DP to PowerMac.
The infinit web page is a description of a port (version 4.0.1.0) to Tcl 8.1, with stubs and dynamic loading provided.
After nearly a decade without updates, Tcl-DP is back. Tcl-DP has been updated to work with Tcl 8.5 as well as the most recent operating systems, while maintaining compatability with Tcl-DP 4.0.
