tclhtml tar archive - Last updated 03-Apr-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.
Theres a html page to act as a top level for these references 
( and some pretty images from the Cover competition for Dr John's Book). 

Changes since the last upload include
    Updated FAQ pages 
    Update of the html manual pages ( tcl7.3 and Tk3.6 )
    Addition of the Tcl7.4 and Tk4.0 Beta ( B2 ) manual pages.
    Add many more sections of interest and a whole lot
        of 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.
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)
