tcl++

This section describes a light weight class library for creating Tcl/Tk applications. [1] It consists of a header file tcl++.h, and a main program tclmain.cc. All you need to do to create a Tcl/Tk application is write any application specific Tcl commands using the NEWCMD macro, link your code with the tclmain code, and then proceed to write the rest of your application as a Tcl script. The tclmain code uses argv[1] to get the name of a script to execute, so assuming that the executable image part of your application is called appl.exe, you would start off your application script with

#!appl.exe
...Your Tcl/Tk code goes here...
then you script becomes the application, directly launchable from the shell.
