|Description:| Android is a Tcl/[Tk] application which for recording and playing back scripts of [X%|%X11] event commands, using the XTest extension. It can be used to automate driving X11 based applications (by use of the vnc%|%vncserver], you could even drive programs on other platforms). <

And now, for something totally different, see [Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project] for information about Google's open source phone project. Tcl/Tk is working on that platform, too, see [AndroWish] and [AndroWish: Devices] for details.

''[escargo] 30 Jul 2003'' - The wildopensource URLs are apparently intermittent.
[Larry Smith] Wild Open Source recently changed servers. The new IP address is still being
propogated through DNS, but the given urls are correct and should work.
With persistence I was eventually able to get the source. Still, I want to know:
Are there any mirror sites for Android?
[Larry Smith] No.
(Thanks to [lv] for checking the problem I was having.)
----
[lv] i don't know of any mirrors - few tcl packages have mirrors available.
----
[TkXext], [TKReplay],
and [Hemang Lavana]'s rarely-maintained RecordnPlayTclTk [http://www.cbl.ncsu.edu/~lavana/RecordnPlayTclTk-1.01b.zip]
have some of Android's capabilities.

Just putting the words "Java Robot class" here. I was looking for a tcl extension with the ability
to send window events to other applications to replace some functionality provided by this
java class. Maybe others will stumble upon this a little easier.
----
[DC] - 21 May 2009 - Does anyone have the code anymore? If someone will send it to me, I'll host a mirror. In fact, I'll start hosting a mirror for all lost Tcl/Tk packages.
