We might wonder about the definition of an application, but it's probably reasonable to think of an application as a program that does something that people want done.
There is an enormous number of applications written in or making use of Tcl/Tk, and most of them are somewhere on the Tcler's Wiki. If you want something in particular, you could search for a suitable keyword, such as spreadsheet, or perhaps you could use the Category system, for which the starting point is Category Category.
For more on finding things in this wiki, have a look at searching and bookmarking URLs on the Tcl'ers Wiki.
Other places to look for Tcl/Tk applications
- SourceForge supported Open Source software repository.
- On SourceForge is a tclapps CVS module in the tcllib sourceforge repository. This module includes tkchat and will hopefully contain other small applications not big enough to warrent their own sf project. Another example of an application in that module is dtp.
- See Extensions for Tcl and Tk for a catalog of extensions.
- Freshmeat software directory.
- Tcl Developer's Xchange [L1 ] Software listings (this site currently has no comprehensive list of 3rd-party software - perhaps once a volunteer webmastering team steps forward that will return)
- The comp.lang.tcl Launch Page at [L2 ] (which doesn't get updated frequently these days).
- See Applications in Tcl and Tcl/Tk -- Old for some applications that have dead links, or have not seen development since Tcl 7.6.
Places that don't seem to be accessible any more
- ProcPlace provided Tcl Contributed Sources Archive at [L3 ]. This is an archive - the files are quite old - few if any updates are occurring here. However, it is the only location for some of this code.
- J.M. Ivler's Tcl package registration site at [L4 ]. (escargo 14 Jul 2005 - It's still his domain, but there's no web server there any more.)
