Hi,

 are examples available ...

from main
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
void
main(
    int argc,                           /* Number of arguments. */
    char **argv)                        /* Array of argument strings. */
{
    char *newArgv[2];
        
    if (MacintoshInit()  != TCL_OK) {
        Tcl_Exit(1);
    }
 
    argc = 1;
    newArgv[0] = "tclsh";
    newArgv[1] = NULL;
    Tcl_Main(argc, newArgv, Tcl_AppInit);
}   
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

why does tcl blow away the argv array ?

Is a download path available ?


 is another.

Hi,

  the current strategic decision would be using the xml interface of
 code-warrior. Yo can create a Code warrior project as xml file and
 import it into the gui.

 One help would be not only to cretae the xml files, it should be possible
 to call code-warrior to do the compiling and linking themself without
 using the user-interface. If this is possible it would be a big step in the 
 right direction.
