This book covers Tcl/Tk 8.0 (script and C APIs), Expect, incr Tcl, incr Tk, Tix, TclX, BLT, Oratcl, Sybtcl, and Tclodbc. It also has a 12 page chapter called "Hints and Tips for the Tcl Programmer".


George A. Howlett writes, "It's a great reference book. How great? Not only did the authors laborously go through the BLT manual pages, but compared the source code too. You're right, there's no manual entry [for blt::winop, for example], but they documented it from the sources." (!)
