Tcl - the reason for most of the commotion on this Wiki! [What is Tcl]?

Tcl stands for Tool Command Language - but is not typically thought of as an acronym (and pronounced like "tickle" by all in the know).

There are so many URLs that could be placed here - hopefully the important ones make it:

http://purl.org/tcl/home/, http://www.tcl.tk/, and http://www.tcl-tk.net/ point to the same major web site containing lots of information regarding Tcl.

This wiki is yet another (and we Wikians strive to make it the richest!)

http://purl.org/net/tcl-faq/ is a series of pointers to other documents.

http://tcl.sf.net/ is the home for the source code of Tcl.  At this web site is not only the Tcl releases, but also the thread extension and currently some MacOS X snapshots.  The CVS also shows the sample [TEA] extension code residing in this project - unfortunately, it does not yet appear that this code has been released as a package.  It is, thank goodness, available from the CVS as well as from the CVS snapshot repository at ftp://www.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/nightly-cvs/ .

Read [To build and test Tcl] for more information on creating an executable library and stand alone scripting framework from the Tcl source code distribution.

[Binary Distributions] and [places to find Tcl binaries and sources] are two pages to discuss locating Tcl binaries.

http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/platforms.html details the platforms known
to support Tcl and [Tk].
