Some resources for learning Tcl/Tk

4-Jun-99 FER

To run the tcl tutor at Nottingham

(0) Be in front of an X windows display, or a display that can display X windows.

(1) Set up your .cshrc on Unix by including these commands:

setenv TCL_PARENT_DIR /rapidd/part2/utils

alias wish4.2 $TCL_PARENT_DIR/tk4.2/unix/wish

alias tclsh7.6 $TCL_PARENT_DIR/tcl7.6/unix/tclsh

setenv TCL_DIR /rapidd/part2/utils/soar

setenv TCL_LIBRARY $TCL_DIR/tcl7.4/library

setenv TK_LIBRARY $TCL_DIR/tk4.0/library

alias wish4.2 $TCL_PARENT_DIR/tk4.2/unix/wish

alias tclsh7.6 $TCL_PARENT_DIR/tcl7.6/unix/tclsh

alias wish /rapidd/part2/utils/tk8.0/unix/wish

setenv TSI_DIR /rapidd/part2/utils/TSI/version-2.3.4/

# set up latest Tcl/Tk (7.5/4.1)

alias wish4.1 $TCL_PARENT_DIR/tk4.1/unix/wish

alias tclsh7.5 $TCL_PARENT_DIR/tcl7.5/unix/tclsh

which will let you start up on their own (but you don't want to as part of the tutor):

tclsh7.6

wish4.2

(2) cd /rapidd/part2/utils/tcl-learn/TclTutor/

(3) type TclTutor.tk
