Tcl is a simple scripting language designed to be embedded into other
applications.  Tcl is designed to be used with Tk, a widget set.

The Tcl (Tool Command Language) provides a powerful platform for creating
integration applications that tie together diverse applications, protocols,
devices, and frameworks. Tcl can also be used for a variety of web-related
tasks and for creating powerful command languages for applications.

This packages also contains Tk. When paired with the Tcl scripting language,
Tk provides a fast and powerful way to create GUI applications that run on Linux
as well as Windows, Unix, and the Macintosh.

This packages also contains Expect. Expect is a tcl application for automating and
testing interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, etc.
Expect makes it easy for a script to control another program and interact with it.

This packages also contains Extended Tcl. Extended Tcl (TclX), is a set of extensions to
Tcl embeddable programming language.  Extended Tcl is oriented towards system programming
tasks and large application development.  TclX provides additional interfaces to the
operating system, and adds many new programming constructs, text manipulation
tools, and debugging tools.

This packages also contains Tix. Tix (Tk Interface Extension), an add-on for the Tk
widget set, is an extensive set of over 40 widgets.  In general, Tix widgets are more
complex and more capable than the widgets provided in Tk.  Tix widgets
include a ComboBox, a Motif-style FileSelectBox, an MS Windows-style
FileSelectBox, a PanedWindow, a NoteBook, a hierarchical list, a
directory tree and a file manager.

This packages also contains itcl. itcl [incr Tcl] is an object-oriented extension of
the Tcl language.  It was created to support more structured programming in Tcl.
Tcl scripts that grow beyond a few thousand lines become extremely difficult to maintain.
This is because the building blocks of vanilla Tcl are procedures and global
variables, and all of these building blocks must reside in a single global
namespace.  There is no support for protection or encapsulation.

This packages also contains Tcllib. Tcllib is a collection of utility modules for Tcl.
These modules provide a wide variety of functionality, from implementations of standard
data structures to implementations of common networking protocols. The intent is to collect
commonly used function into a single library, which users can rely on to be
available and stable.
