Version 5 of Trf

Updated 2006-02-22 07:17:39

An extension based upon the principle of stacked channels.


Any tips for how to get this thing built on windows? (preferably using MinGW)

Any binaries available without the obsolete 2.1px style versioning?


This extension provides several conversions, hash algorithms and other transformations; for example Base64 encoding and decoding, zlib/bzlib compression, SHA, MD5, etc. Thus well-suited to handle mime-Mail. An add-on, Trfcrypt, provides Encryption and Decryption facilities.

The homepage of this package is http://tcltrf.sourceforge.net/ . An older homepage, providing HTML documentation, is http://www.purl.org/NET/akupries/soft/trf/ .

 Description: Loadable extension providing commands for data conversion,
        encryption, message digests, compression, error correction,
        MIME encoding and quoted printable conversion,
        and channel-based manipulation of binary data.
        Supports Tcl 8.2 and the TEA building on Unix and Windows NT.
        TrfCrypt is an add-on package to trf.  Provides crypto-algorithms.
        There may be political reasons not to mirror TrfCrypt on ftp/http sites
        or include in CD-ROM products in any country where there are
        laws regarding possession or distribution of crypto-related software.
        Trf/Trfcrypt binaries for Tcl 8.2/Windows 95/98/NT is available
        at the bdist page.
