Subject: Re: TCL for OpenVMS

Jakob-

good news is "yes, there is". Bad news is that all TCL available is of
version 8.0

Here are your choices:
Choice1: This is my favorite and it is close to your home :-)
Look at: ftp://ftp.prs.de/pub/packages/tclvms/
Now this one definitely works with UCX/Compaq TCPIP. It appears that
the site includes 3 versions of tcl 8.0 (each one with fixes but based
on same Tcl) and one version of Tk 8.0; the latest version of Tcl
works great on my alpha (v7.3-1) but the tk does not compile/build
properly. I did a small hack to solve the problem but it does work
100% correctly (e.g. when I start wish I cannot type anything on the
command line but running "wish -f junk" works ok. If anyone can get
this working please let me know...

Choice2:  ftp://sapodilla.rsmas.miami.edu/pub/VMS-tcl/tcl8.0p2-tk8.0p2
[I do not know if this one requires Multinet; this was the latest
contribution of Angel Li and is dated back in 1998.

I am VERY interested in Tcl/Tk on VMS but the response on this
newsgroup time after time has been rather low which seems to indicate
that others do not share the same enthusiasm...

Kind regards,
Petros
