Beta shared libraries for extended TCL and extended Tk are available
in sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/incoming.
tclDiffs.tar.z is a set of patchfiles that include both my patches to
make TCL build under linux, and files necessary to build the shared
libraries. The shared library build is not automatic; I haven't
groked how to patch automatic library building into the existing TCL
source tree.
tclDist.tar.z is a complete end-user distribution of extended TCL and
extended Tk, containing the TCL library, include files, Tk demos,
shared libraries and jumptable stubs. Most people will want just this
file.
tclMan.tar.z are the voluminous manual pages for TCL and Tk, packaged
separately because they're so big.
Please send criticisms and flames to nop@theory.cs.mankato.msus.edu.
The most annoying known bug is total failure of extended TCL's
floating point math exception handling. The new C library appears to
implement better exception handling, but I haven't looked at it yet.
Also, note that Tk will be unable to use resource files if you haven't
used xrdb at some point in your X initialization. (How odd.)
Sorry about the delays,
