tcl7.3

	This directory contains a tcl7.3 distribution modified by
	the tcl2dos porting script available from ftp.aud.alcatel.com.

	The ported code has then been modified for a Win32 build.

	It has been tested using Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 under a beta
	of Win95.

*.mak
	These files are Microsoft Visual C++ 2,0 project makefiles.

	There is one .MAK file for each of the following targets:

	otcl - the library
	cdl - the cdl processor
	otcltest - the test shell
	otclsh - a shell

To Build Tcl7.3
---------------

Transfer the tcl7.3 subdirectory to you Windows system.

Open the tcl.mak project file and select "build all" from within Visual C++.

You will get lots of compiler warnings but it seems to hang together.

To Build Object Tcl
-------------------

First transfer all .C, .H and .cdl files from the top level directory
of the Object Tcl distribution to your Windows machine.

Change all .C files to .CPP.

There are four parts to the Windows port of Object Tcl.

1.	otcl.lib

Transfer otcl.mak into the same directory as the transfered source code.

Start VC++ 2.0 by double clicking the .mak file.

Change the setting of the C++ include and Linker libraries to point at
the Tcl libraries from above.

2.	cdl

Same as above, basically.

CDL can be run from a DOS command shell.

3.	otclsh

Same as above + set the include and library paths for otcl.lib.

otclsh can be run from a DOC command shell. Remember to set the
TCL_LIBRARY environment variable.

set TCL_LIBRARY=somepath
set OTCL_LIBRARY=someotherpath

4.	otcltest

Transfer "tscript" from the tests directory of the Object Tcl distribution.

Run otcltest in the saem way as "otclsh" and then source tscript.

Problems?
---------

Shame :-)

My Windows skills are very lacking so I'll probably be of little
use when it comes to giving any help - try me anyway.
