I've built Sybtcl in Sequent PTX 1.3 (System V 3.2), SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.3, and HPUX 9.x/10.x. Other users have reported successful compiles on: IRIX AIX (mail to me on a successful port on other platforms; I'll add to this list) SAMPLES Some samples are included using the Extended Tcl tcl(1) and wishx(1) interpreters. In particular, the "wisqlite" (Windowing ISQL) program is a handy replacement for Sybase's Isql in an X11 environment. Also, De Clarke's enhanced wisql is included in ./samples/uco/*. A very nice query tool to give to users who haven't learned SQL. See ./samples/README.samples plus each file's comments and code. MAN PAGE You're in luck! I've written one. OTHER DOCUMENTATION The directory doc contains a draft of a chapter I'm writing on Sybtcl for an upcoming book on Tcl extensions, to be published by O'Reilly & Associates late 1995. BUG REPORTS Comments, suggestions, et.al., should be mailed to me at the above email address, or posted to comp.lang.tcl if general enough nature. Hell, you can even mail to me if you like Sybtcl! Mail bug reports to: tpoindex@nyx.cs.du.edu Please always include: -version of Sybtcl -version of Tcl, Tk, and TclX -version of Sybase server and DB-Libary -version of your operating system -compiler used, stock cc or Gcc -samples of SQL or Sybtcl code causing problems -relevant database table definitions, views, procedures INSTALLATION See the file INSTALL. GNU Autoconf is used to generate the Makefile. OTHER See the file CHANGES for changes in versions of Sybtcl. -finis-
