About TCL and WISH for simple interfaces


This is a preliminary working link. More examples to come soon. (version August 7th, 1995)
On many systems there is now available a public domain software-set consisting of

wish, tcl, and Tk

wish is a shell similar to csh, but with built-in windowing capacity. The other parts are doing the job.

People have written big applications with this set, but for most of us a more interesting possibility is to build very quickly user interfaces to big (FORTRAN) program systems.

Here are two simple examples which I play with:

A simple menu ....

this executes a number of funny chained commands ... you can well imagine how to use it for real life?

A simple "application", shows powers....

This is from a textbook on TCL

and Tcl/Tk Project At Sun Microsystems Laboratories....
