I have just added the version and origin information for Tcl in the Wiki page.

As for the designation of the C/C++ and Fortran compilers: as far as I am aware "everybody" uses the terms now in that Wiki page. The official designations you get with the options to report the version are confusing in my opinion - what is a composer other than someone writing a piece of music? (Those terms seem to originate with the marketing department of the various companies.)

The short message therefore is that with the concise and the detailed designations the software has been uniquely identified.

Regards,

Arjen
