TclTalk tries to follow some concepts from common Smalltalk(tm) systems, some of which are workspaces, browsers and used for image-based developing. (escargo - This not to be confused with other "image-based" computing, which has to do with image processing. This is the kind of "image" used in some early APL systems and with common Smalltalk implementations.)

The idea is to give the user immediate feedback from the underlying interpreter, which can be very instructive for the novice. To serve as a learning tool, TclTalk provides a simple mechanism to manage its tutorial files. To realize some sort of image based computing, TclTalk's starkit is writable and all changes that you make using the system browser are traced in a change log within the kit's file.

TclTalk is written in pure Tcl/Tk and gets deployed as a starkit for best possible plattform independence. Feel free to download the starkit from http://tcltalk.ath.cx/files .

LV 2008-Jan-18 There appears to be some problem accessing the download files. When I click through, I see what appears to be a web server index listing. However, clicking on the specific files returns an http 404 error. tb Thanks Larry! It's been fixed.
