TclTk Aqua Batteries-Included is a freely available Batteries Included binary distribution of the MacOS X native Tcl/Tk and many popular extensions. It is a superset of ActiveTcl (on other platforms). TclTkAquaBI is maintained by Daniel Steffen. About it, Steve Landers remarked, "Daniel's work on the Mac 'Batteries Included' is particularly noteworthy .... it makes it trivially easy for non-Mac people to move their Tcl./Tk scripts to that platform ..."
Smaller distributions of MacOS X Tcl/Tk only and of a self-contained Wish appliation (similar to TclKit) are also available.
The distributions are downloadable as compressed disk images from the file area [L1 ] of the Tcl/Tk Aqua sourceforge site.
Visit http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/ for more details and direct download links.
See below for a list of packages included with the latest TclTkAquaBI 8.4.4.0 release.
All packages are built from the HEAD (resp. tip of core-8-4-branch) of their CVS repositories as of 5/Aug/2003 UTC (or from the latest tarballs where there is no CVS access); with some patches [L2 ] applied.
The tools used to build the distribution (including the installer packages & disk images) are available[L3 ].
The distributions use the standard Apple Installer, allowing users to install all or only some of the packages included. The BI installer is also easily adapted to include only a subset of the bundled packages for building customized distributions.
