tcl-7.3-MAB.pkg.tar

Contains tcl v7.3 compiled for both intel and motorola based NEXTSTEP environments. If someone sends me a gecko, I'll support it too.

This tcl environment is set to install in /LocalDevleoper under the following directories:

lib		libtcl.a & tcl library directory
bin		tclsh
Headers	tcl.h
man		tcl (and associated) man pages.

TCL_LIBRARY is set to /LocalDeveloper/lib/tcl.

The source tree was modified such that the compatibility versions of tmpnam() and strdup() were used (since the NeXT supplied ones are broken or inferior).  To avoid name-space conflict, the compatibility functions were renamed, and all references to the functions within the tcl source were changed.

This library should work with various third-party products that use Tcl.  It definitely works with the WavesWorld palettes/environment.

If you would like the patches needed to make the Tcl 7.3 source tree NEXTSTEP compatible, I can supply the patches and instructions in email.

If you have been working on Tcl <-> NEXTSTEP interface, please let me know.
