ABSTRACT
This book is about two packages called Tcl and Tk. Together they provide a programming system for developing and using graphical user interface (GUI) applications. Tcl stands for "tool command language" and is pronounced "tickle"; is a simple scripting language for controlling and extending applications. It provides generic programming facilities that are useful for a variety of applications, such as variables and loops and procedures. Fur-thermore, Tcl is embeddable: its interpreter is implemented as a library of C procedures that can easily be incorporated into applications, and each application can extend the core Tcl features with additional commands specific to that application.
