'''[http://tcl.tk/software/tclpro/%|%TclPro]''', created by [Scriptics]/[Ajuba
Solutions],
is an open-source collection of
tools to boost Tcl programmers' productivity with a code checker and a powerful
graphical debugger. TclPro also makes it easy to package and distribute Tcl
applications, and it protects source code from copying and alterations. TclPro
incorporates several popular open source extensions with Tcl/Tk: [incr Tcl],
for object-oriented programming; Expect, for automating repetitive tasks and
extending the lifecycle of legacy applications; and TclX, for added powerful
utilities and system support.

** Description **

TclPro consists of tcls/wish, a code checker, a debugger with a GUI, a byte-code compiler
and wrapper, various  extensions (TclX, Expect, [[incr Tcl]] ...).

The free TclPro sources from SourceForge have been compiled and included in
Fedora ever since Fedora 5.  Starting with Fedora 9, support for the tclpro
bytecode compiler/loader tbcload has been dropped due to incompatibilities with
Tcl 8.5.  Fedora users can install Tclpro with the command 'yum install
tclpro'.

The TclPro debugger is strictly a debugger - it does not contain the ability to
edit code and then continue on.  Instead, one uses a favorite editor, and then
start the app over again.

The TclPro static code checker (procheck) is the piece I [LV] most frequently
use.  It, along with [frink], provide two tools for analyzing Tcl code and
predicting possible problem code.

The term 'TclPro' is trademarked. The trademark is held by [Interwoven], due to their buy-out of Scriptics/Ajuba.



** Building **

TclPro has a reputation for being tough to build

** License Keys **

Try getting the file named FREE_KEYS from ftp://www.tcl.tk/pub/tclpro/download/
and I think you'll have better luck.  For the FTP impaired, and for the records
of all the great news search engines, I'll include all 671 bytes here.

  With the acquisition of Scriptics/Ajuba by Interwoven the
  TclPro product line has been discontinued and moved into
  the open source community.

  The files in this directory require license keys in order to
  use the development tools (e.g, TclPro Debugger, TclPro Checker,
  TclPro Compiler, and TclPro Wrapper).  Here are keys for
  different versions.

  TclPro          (Tcl/Tk)        Key
  1.2             8.0.5           1K14-2207-0H34-1U24-R8ZJ
  1.3             8.2.0           1V45-2209-1G37-1U35-R8Y6
  1.4.1           8.3.2           1094-320C-1G38-2U24-P8YY

  If you run the TclPro network license server, the keys are different:

  TclPro          Key for 10 seats
  1.2             2N06-0H35-04U2-5R8Y-X2H0
  1.3             2M09-1H27-04V2-5P9Z-188S
  1.4.1           2M1C-1H28-34U3-4P8Z-DRG2


And for those peeking in, version 1.5 for TclPro was released during 2001, without license key issues.
