'''[http://tcldp.sourceforge.net/%|%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. ** Attributes ** current version: 4.2.0 release time: 2010-08-15 website: http://tcldp.sourceforge.net website (older, original): http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/Projects/zeno/Projects/Tcl-DP.html contact: mailto:tcl-dp@cs.cornell.edu contact: mailto:tcl-dp@roger-rabbit.CS.Berkeley.EDU contact tcl-dp-bugs@roger-rabbit.CS.Berkeley.EDU contact: mailto:sumit@cs.cornell.edu ** Historical ** The following information is preserved for the historians ftp://ftp.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/pub/users/roseman/tcl-dp-0.2.sit.hqx http://pages.infinit.net/cclients/files/tcl-dp.4.0.htm ** Documentation ** [http://tcldp.sourceforge.net/cornell/dp97/%|%Redesigning Tcl-DP] ,Mike Perham ,Brian C. Smith ,Tibor Jánosi Ioi Lam: ** 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. ---- | What:| Tcl-DP fix (Krakowiak)| | Where:| From the contact| | Description:| A fix to distribObj.tcl so that clients names are kept.
