Description:
BOS is a C-callable library that implements the notion of object and which uses Tcl as its interpreter for interpreted methods (you can have "compiled" methods in C, and mix compiled and interpreted methods in the same object, plus lots more stuff). I regularly (a) subclass and (b) mixin existing objects using BOS to extend, among other things, the set of tk widgets (I have all tk widgets wrapped with BOS "classes"). BOS is a class-free object system, also called a prototype-based object system; it is modeled loosely on the Self system from Stanford.

MTtcl - Multi-threaded Tcl
Version:
0.9
Parts:
interpreter, library
Location:
ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/mttcl/MTtcl0.9.tar.gz
Description:
The MTtcl package gives Tcl/Tk programmers access to the multi-threading features of Solaris 2. The package comes in two parts; a modified version of Tcl 7.4, and a Tcl threads extension.

Modifications were necessary to enable Tcl to work "safely" in the presence of multiple threads. The Tcl interpretter uses a number of static and global variables to execute scripts. If two threads are using the same global, the behavior of the script may be unpredictable. This "safe" Tcl is called MT-Sturdy Tcl.

The threads extension brings multi-thread programming into the Tcl environment. Multiple scripts can be interpretted simultaneously with communication and synchronization between scripts. There is special support for using threads in Tk scripts. Documentation for the threads commands are in the form of man pages.

Requires:
Sparc, Solaris 2.3, Sparcworks 3.0 C compiler, Tcl 7.4, Tk 4.0
Ports:
Sparc Solaris 2.3

Package:
narray
Version:
0.10
Author:
Sam Shen <sls@gainful.lbl.gov>
Location:

Description:
NArray is an extension to help Tcl cope with large in-memory numeric arrays. NArray's require only a few more bytes than the storage required by the array. In addition to providing array referencing and setting, narray allows functions to be mapped over each element of the array. These functions are compiled into byte code for performance about 100x faster than straight tcl and only 5-10x slower than C. (These numbers are ball-park figures, actual results depend on the situation.) If you have netCDF, then narray's can be saved to and loaded from netCDF files.

Description:
A small text-oriented embedded language similar to LISP with add-on extensions that allow it to also function more as a shell. Tcl also allows algebraic expressions to be written for simplicity and convenience. Its greatest strength lies in its uniform representation of everything as a string. This is also its weakness.

Description:
Wafe (Widget[Athena]front end) is a package that implements a symbolic interface to the Athena widgets (X11R5) and OSF/Motif. A typical Wafe application consists of two parts: a front-end (Wafe) and an application program which runs typically as a separate process. The distribution contains sample application programs in Perl, GAWK, Prolog, Tcl, C and Ada talking to the same Wafe binary.
Portability:
very high, just needs X11R4 or X11R5.
