'''ctcl''' is basically a tclkitsh or tclsh replacement for Windows. It is a console application with [twapi] and [sqlite] bound in. The biggest difference though from tclsh or tclkitsh is in its accepting scripts from the command line using standard Tcl syntax. Example are below:

Without any arguments, ctcl behaves like tclsh.

If the first argument is a script file, ctcl behaves like tclsh.

Otherwise, ctcl treats the entire line as a Tcl script. No magic, but very convenient under Windows. Examples follow.

tcl::mathop are autoimported

======
R:\>ctcl + 1 2 3
6
======

[twapi] commands are also autoimported.

======
R:\>ctcl get_process_ids -name notepad.exe
3328 1684
======

ctcl has its own built-in convenience commands.
======
R:\>ctcl toclip [read stdin]
This text will go into clipboard
^Z
======

The command line may have compound commands.

======
R:\>ctcl xargs end_process [get_process_ids -name notepad.exe]
======

Command may also be continued across multiple lines.

======
R:\>ctcl foreach pid [get_process_ids -name notepad.exe] {
> puts "Killing PID $pid"
> end_process $pid
> }
Killing PID 2804
Killing PID 2352
======
