I have rename tcltk_shlib package as "supertcltk" which include
two sub-directory, "supertcl" and "supertk", in order to support 
others tcl/tk extended packages for building shared library. 

Version 0.5 supports shared library on SunOS 4, Solaris 2, IRIX 5, 
OSF/1, linux, HP/UX, freeBSD/netBSD, AIX 3.2, SVR 4, DG/UX.

There are two seperated subdirectory in "supertcltk", supertcl0.5 and
supertk0.5. Supertcl0.5 includes tcl and its applications.
Supertk0.5 includes tk and its applications.

Currently, supertcl0.5 includes Tcl (default 7.4), Expect (default 5.14),
Itcl (default 1.5), TclX (default 7.4a-b2), Tcl-dp (default 3.2).
There is super "tclsh", named as "supertcl", in "supertcl0.5/app" which
has all functions based above extension packages. The command line options
are :
	supertcl [-c cmds] [-D 0|1] [cmdfile [args] | -]

The -c flag prefaces a command to be executed before any in the script.
The -D flag enables an interactive debugger. An integer value should follow.
       Refer to Expect man page for more information.
If the string "-" is supplied as a cmdfile, standard input is read instead. 

Note: use "supertcl cmdfile", the supertcl can not quit when the cmdfile
end.

Currently, supertk0.5 includes Tk (default 4.0), BLT (default 1.7). 
Tcl-dp (default 3.2), Expectk (defaul 5.13). There is super "wish",
named as "supertk", in "supertk0.5/app" which has all functions
based on above extension packages. The command line options
are the same as original wish.


<<NEW>>

1. All shared library object have been resorted by "lorder | tsort".
Thanks Leif Hedstrom <leif@se.liu.ifm>!

2. New stuff to support several tcl/tk extend applications

3. Daniel Simmons <simmdan@edu.isu.kenya> tested version 0.4 on HP
and corrected some errors. Thanks! 

4. Maurice LeBrun <mjl@edu.utexas.ph.dino> tested version 0.4 on IBM
AIX and sent me a working version on that platform. Thanks!

5. Mikko Tyolajarvi <mikko@dynas.se> ported version 0.4 to freeBSD and
sent me a script to support DG/UX. Thanks!

6. John Ellson <ellson@hotair.att.com> tested pre-release version 0.5 on
SunOS 4.1.3 with --with-gcc option and sent me patch. Thanks!
  

<<REQUIRE>>

You need GNU make (I use version 3.77.1) to make these software.


<<FTP SITE>>

ftp.aud.alcatel.com [198.64.191.10] /pub/tcl/extensions

URL: http://130.209.12.75:8001
This server only runs in off peek time (GMT 17:00-9:00).


<<INSTALL>>

	1. install all sources such as tcl, tclX, expect, itcl, tcl-dp,
	   tk, blt.

		       [your-home-directory]
                                  |
        +-------+-------+---------+-------+-------+------+
      [tcl]  [tclX]  [expect]  [itcl]  [tcl-dp]  [tk]  [blt]

	2. compile these packages. make sure you success! ;-)

	3. make install for each package.

	4. zcat supertcltk0.5.tar.Z | tar xvf -

	5. cd supertcl0.5
	   edit the file Config.mk if you want to build tclX's C++ suport.

	6. build each share library
	   If you don't want install all stuff into /usr/local, 
	   you need use --prefix to set new directory, for example,
 	      ./configure --prefix=${HOME}
	   install all stuff into your HOME directory. 

	   The default use cc compile, you can override it 
	   with option --with-gcc or --with-acc.

	   if you want to build the shared library which is not
	   default version, you should change the version variabe
	   in Makefile.in

           (cd tcl; ./configure; make;  make install)
           (cd tclX; ./configure; make; make install)
           (cd expect; ./configure; make; make install)
           (cd itcl; ./configure; make; make install)
           (cd tdp; ./configure; make; make install)

	7. there is a super "tclsh" in app/, you can build it by
	   (cd app; ./configure; make; make install)

	8. in order run the "supertcl", you need set env variables
	   TCL_LIBRARY, DP_LIBRARY, LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

	   for example, use --prefix=${HOME}/mips for building 
	   library. in C-shell,

	   % setenv TCL_LIBRARY ${HOME}/mips/tclX/7.4a-b2
	   % setenv DP_LIBRARY ${HOME}/mips/lib/dp
	   % setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${HOME}/mips/lib 
	
	9. cd supertk0.5

	10.build each share library
	   If you don't want install all stuff into /usr/local, 
	   you need use --prefix to set new directory, for example,
 	      ./configure --prefix=${HOME}
	   install all stuff into your HOME directory. 

	   The default use cc compile, you can override it 
	   with option --with-gcc or --with-acc.

	   if you want to build the shared library which is not
	   default version, you should change the version variabe
	   in Makefile.in

           (cd tk; ./configure; make;  make install)
           (cd expect; ./configure; make; make install)
           (cd tcldp; ./configure; make; make install)
           (cd blt; ./configure; make; make install)

	11.there is a super "wish" in app/, you can build it by
	   (cd app; ./configure; make; make install)

	12.in order run the supertk, you need set another
	   env variable TK_LIBRARY.

* "Pass" means the same results by applying the  static link program. 
* "No" means have not run the test or example programs yet. 
* There are some command name conflict between tclX and expect.
  You have to add "exp_" to the commands of expect's test script.
* "supertcl" are not compatible with tclX's command line options.
  You need modify tclX's tests script.
