Mac OS X Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.4.2 Binary Release Announcement
March 14, 2003

I'm pleased to announce the availability of Mac OS X binary
distributions for Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.4.2, the Mac OS X native port of the Tcl
scripting language and the Tk toolkit.

The distributions are dowloadable as compressed disk images from the Tcl
file release page on Sourceforge:
    http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3D10894&release_id=3D144=
142

Three variants are available:
=20
* TclTkAquaBI: Batteries-Included distribution, includes many popular
  extensions (c.f. list of packages below). This is a superset of
  ActiveState's ActiveTcl distribution on other platforms.
  Installs in systemwide locations, administrator password required.
    http://prdownloads.sf.net/tcl/TclTkAquaBI-8.4.2.0.dmg      (12.9M)

* TclTkAqua: smaller distribution of just the TclTk frameworks, Wish,
  tclsh and html docs (including debug versions of the frameworks).
  Installs in systemwide locations, administrator password required.
    http://prdownloads.sf.net/tcl/TclTkAqua-8.4.2.dmg           (4.9M)

* TclTkAquaStandalone: drag & drop install capable, self-contained
  version of Wish with embedded TclTk frameworks (no debug frameworks
  or documentation included). Can be used off read-only media and
  installed by unprivileged users.
    http://prdownloads.sf.net/tcl/TclTkAquaStandalone-8.4.2.dmg (1.7M)

Note that these distributions require at least Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar);
Mac OS X 10.1 is no longer supported.

Packages with a '+' have been added, and many others have been updated
since the release of the 8.4.1.0 Batteries-Included distribution.

Note the last package above, Launcher; a small utility (written by me)
intended to solve the "double-clicking .tcl files in Finder" problem.
It is installed into /Applications/Utilities, double-clicking it will
bring up its Readme. Comments & feedback about it most welcome...

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Daniel
