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
        <A HREF="http://myhttpserver.co/mytclInfo/Tcl.html"> TCL </A>



There is a WWW access point to a mirror of 
this distribution from the IXI home page at URL 
    <http://www.sco.com/IXI/ixi.html >
( Its the entry named 'TCL documentation and references' under the heading
    'Of Interest')


The URL for this page is ( from April 95 ) :
    <http://www.sco.com/Technology/tcl/Tcl.html>

instead of  
    <http://www.sco.com/IXI/of_interest/tcl/Tcl.html>

FOLLOWUP

The information and links here are pretty minimal but it 
provides a reasonable start for growth.
