Description
Tcl is a library that implements a simple embeddable and extensible
Command Language. This distribution also contains the binary for an
interpreter that uses that library. This is version 7.5 built 14-Jun-96.
This distribution is modified from the std in that it uses a script to
build and install both static and shared libraries and interpreters
that use them.

Build Notes
This source is configured to be installed under
/usr/local though it seems to autodetect its files if run from elsewhere in a
standard tree layout
To build it for a different location, compile with
make prefix=directory or reconfigure with
./configure --prefix=directory.
Installation Notes
The SCO custom packaging was done by Ron Record (rr@ronrecord.com).
Against the advice of Those Who Know Better, he (i.e. me) symlinked
/usr/local/bin/tclsh and /usr/local/bin/tclsh7.5. This should only
prove to be a problem when interpreting older code which conforms to
a previous api. Thus far, his (my) testing has uncovered no problems
and, in fact, many tcl/tk packages rely on tclsh.
