The complete source code for the latest revision of the Tcl Plugin is available at Sourceforge: [L1 ] [L2 ]. There are no ready-to-use released files in the SF area, but the CVS [L3 ] contains working code.
Binaries can be obtained from the Tcl Developer Xchange, specifically http://www.tcl.tk/software/plugin/ .
With the help of Brian Theado, JH has created xpi installers for several platforms. It is a zip file containing a few dll files and an install.js. See Tcl Browser Plugin Design for the install architecture. Firefox and Mozilla will execute the install.js file upon launching the xpi. Get the Tcl plugin XPI for your platform at http://www.tcl.tk/software/plugin/ .
JH: tclplugin.dll is a "tclkit as dll" (aka stardll) as described at [L4 ], loaded with the plugin runtime code and a few other libraries. You could extend it as needed for specialized plugin installations. As of v3.1, the plugin runtime library is separated to allow for the user to modify the configuration files.
escargo 13 Jun 2005 - I was able to install the plugin into my Firefox instance and run the applet demos. I'm most impressed.
Once you install the plugin, check Resources and Links and ActiveState's page [L5 ]. More examples are listed on Tclet demos.
Hey, is there any way to get listed on Mozilla's plugin download page? At the very least, making a plugin that will let people play Tetris ought to have some popularity. Making Tcl a well-known plugin for Firefox can only be a good thing, I would think.
MG July 9th 2005 - It looks like it's just a matter of whoever maintains the plugin setting up an account at https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/ and submitting it.
OUTDATED INFO
Keiichi Takahashi maintains free binaries and nice installers for Windows and Linux at: [L6 ].
LES: ... and this site says: "The requested URL /~bitwalk/src/tclplugin30_002.exe was not found on this server." There is a link to some "plugin-20030425" release, but what is there actually dates from 27/03/01.
SDG - I keep a copy of Keiichi's installer here: [L7 ] This is a couple of years old now, but still the best bet if you aren't handy with a C compiler.
