Version 4 of TclPro

Updated 2002-01-11 15:18:50

I'm not sure why nothing is here, but the web page for TclPro is:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclpro

and

http://dev.scriptics.com/software/tclpro

ActiveState has created ASPN Tcl, which includes an updated, quality-assured version of TclPro. More info on that at http://www.activestate.com/Products/ASPN_Tcl/ .

TclPro consists of a code checker, GUI debugger (i.e. the debugger has a GUI, rather than being a GUI debugger), a byte-code compiler and wrapper and some extensions (TclX, Expect, [incr Tcl] ...) and tclsh/wish.

Oh... and it's open source these days.


TclPro has a reputation for being tough to build.


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.


Try getting the file named FREE_KEYS from ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/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.


[Are there any on-line forms of the documentation?]


There are competing products for several of the TclPro modules. TclCheck is one of a handful of static syntax checkers [L1 ], TclCompile is one of almost a dozen different compilation schemes [L2 ] in use, ...
