Extending SCO Visual Tcl

SCO Skunkware 5.0 contains files for extending the SCO Visual Tcl interpreter (/bin/vtcl).

vtcl.h
libvtcl.a
main.c

The SCO Visual Tcl interpreter can be extended with additional commands that you create in C. For example, you might want to add commands that are specific to making C-based SQL calls to your favorite database application or simply add new commands that are based on useful C functions that you have written.

Man pages are included that document the Tcl functions for extending the Tcl interpreter. Please read AppInit and CrtCommand to get started. SCO will eventually incorporate these man pages into its standard SCO Visual Tcl documentation library. Please note that "vtcl.h" is equivalent to the "tcl.h" referenced in the man pages.

The commands related to extending the interpreter include:
