     Version: 1.8.1 (stable)
 Description: TCLBridge is a powerful component designed to allow seamless integration 
              of Tcl/Tk and any ActiveX capable language (such as Visual Basic 6 and
              any of the Microsoft .NET languages). This component is fully multi-              threaded and thread-safe (each interpreter has it's own thread).
              Additionally, full Tcl/Tk stubs support has been added (build 5000+).
              This component should work with any version of Tcl/Tk 8.3.2 or higher
              (including TclPro 1.4.1 or higher). Multiple Tcl interpreters can be
              easily created, used, and destroyed. In addition, there is a simple yet
              powerful facility that allows Tcl to invoke YOUR custom COM/ActiveX
              components. You simply specify the Tcl command name to add, the instance
              or progID of the COM object to call, the method name to call, and the 
              "clientData" (or cookie) you want to receive when called by the
              specified Tcl interpreter. In short, Tcl commands are transparently
              mapped to COM method calls that you control in a fully reentrant, 
              thread-safe manner. Command arguments are handled automatically either as
              one long string or as separate strings (can be toggled dynamically).
              Please see the official web site for more information and complete
              documentation in HTML at:
              [http://www.mistachkin.com/tclbridge/html/index.html] or Microsoft
              Compiled Help (CHM) at:
              [http://www.mistachkin.com/tclbridge/tclbridge.chm]. Also includes the
              following:

              I. Full Tk support.

             II. Stable asynchronous evaluation.

            III. Special debugging support, such as the ability to use multiple
                 debuggers at once, such as Visual Basic and TclPro (a very powerful
                 combination) and other diagnostic functionality.

             IV. TCL2COM, which allows Tcl scripts to utilize any ActiveX object that
                 supports automation using TCLBridge.

              V. TCL2ASP, a prototype component which allows easy integration with
                 Microsoft IIS using TCLBridge.

             VI. VBS2TCL, a prototype component which allows easy integration with
                 VBScript.  Due to the limitations of VBScript (MSKB Q197957),
                 TCLBridge does not work with VBScript without VBS2TCL.

            VII. More features coming soon [http://www.tclbridge.com/]...
