Package tclx9-8.4.0-2

The last official release of TclX is version 8.3.5 in October, 2002. This is a build based off of a snapshot of the CVS tree. The following text comes from http://wiki.tcl.tk/207 TclX (http://tclx.sf.net/) is an essential package of extensions for Tcl. This package creates interpreters known as tcl. It adds advanced code loading facility, new programming constructs, debugging and profiling facilities, unix access commands, file I/O facilities including awk-like scanning for strings, extended list and a new key list capability, extended character and string manipulation commands, and time and date manipulation commands. Extended Tcl is oriented towards system programming tasks and large application development. It provides a variety of additional interfaces to the underlying operating system, as well as many new programming constructs, text manipulation tools, and debugging capabilities. Over the years, a variety of features originally appeared in TclX, and then, as the ideas were proven, migrated to the Tcl core. These features include Tcl's I/O system, its associative arrays, Internet networking interfaces, upvar, memory debugging... even incr. TclX includes documentation on debugging memory problems on how to use its keyed list data type, manipulating binary structures via handles, a guide to writing Tcl commands in C , and a reference manual for the new TclX commands themselves.
