language /tik*l/ (Tcl) An interpreted string processing

language for issuing commands to interactive programs,

developed by John Ousterhout at UCB. Each applicationprogram can extend tcl with its own set of commands.

Tcl is like a text-oriented Lisp, but lets you write

algebraic expressions for simplicity and to avoid scaring

people away. Though originally designed to be a "scripting

language" rather than for serious programming, Tcl has been

used successfully for programs with hundreds of thousands of

lines.

It has a peculiar but simple syntax. It may be used as an

embedded interpreter in application programs. It has

for procedures and variables, and provide/require. It

supports dynamic loading of object code. It is eight-bitclean. It has only three variable types: strings, lists and

Tcl and its associated GUI toolkit, Tk run on all

Tcl runs on the Amiga and many other platforms.

Current version: 8.0.3, as of 1998-09-25.
