tclhtml tar archive - Last updated 25-Sep-95
This is a snapshot of a number of useful references for TCL/Tk in a form
usable by XMosaic or any other Web Browser.
The html pages have NOT been made "Netscape reliant".
Changes since the last upload include
Updated FAQ pages
Replacement of the Tcl7.4 and Tk4.0 Beta ( B2 ) manual pages with the
final release manual pages
Add Quick jump links to each of the sections, Add some new sections
( itcl ) and rearrange somewhat,
Add a few more URLS from various sources...
Probably the most useful parts are a mirror of the TCL/TK FAQ
and html versions of the TCL and Tk man pages.
I've made all the link references into relative ones into the distribution
tree - If you find any links that don't work when transplanted to a different
root please let me know. If you need to modify any link values for some
reason theres a script - fixURL - that may be helpful
( if only as a starting point - its probably not so useful now the links
are not full pathnames )
The w3get directory has a number of scripts that I used to
a) get the TCL FAQ locally from ohio state
b) convert the TCL man pages to html files
c) generally tidy up after doing the above
( none of these are my work - I dipped them from the netstream and tweaked them
slightly for my setup and convenience, I've supplied the original unmodified
scripts for any subsequent use - many thanks to the original contributors )
The file tree layout is as follows
( note that its changed a little since the last iteration - the man pages have
sunk a directory and theres a new directory - README - of README and misc
html files.

The directory tcl contains the toplevel html 'index' page ( Tcl.html ),
some gifs and a html page of Tcl contact names.
INSTALLATION
1) Get a hold of this tar archive - tclhtml.tar
2) tar it off somewhere
cd mytclInfo; tar xvf tclhtml.tar
3) Make a link from your current html files to the top level html
entry file Tcl.html ( or access it directly from xmosaic )
e.g. assuming installation in dir mytclInfo which is accessable from server
myhttpserver.co the URL would be
TCL
There is a WWW access point to a mirror of
this distribution from the IXI home page at URL
( Its the entry named 'TCL documentation and references' under the heading
'Of Interest')
The URL for this page is ( from April 95 ) :

FOLLOWUP
The information and links here are pretty minimal but it
provides a reasonable start for growth.
If anyone has any other sites or references for useful Tk/Tcl info in
html, ftp or any other form that they think should be advertised
could they please mail either me ( hops@sco.com )
and/or the TCL FAQ maintainer (Larry W Virden - lwv26@xas.org)
