The Distribution

The following is a description of the directory structure for the distribution:

install Holds the installer script and the debug and release versions of the stubbed DLLs for Tcl8.2 and above. I also wanted to build a distribution for Tcl8.0.5+ without stubs, but no matter were I downloaded the Tcl installer from, it failed half way through the installation.
docs Documentation.
src The source for OpTcl with Visual C++ v6.0 (sp3) workspace.
tests A couple of test scripts using MS Word, and the Calendar Control. Need to put an example of scripting DirectX - should nicely show off what OpTcl can really do! :-)

To install, run the install script optcl_install.tcl. This will autodetect your version and location of your Tcl and select the appropriate installation settings. The installer copies the suitable DLL <tcl_lib>/../optcl/optcl.dll, and pkg_mkIndex is applied to that directory.

The package can now be used by loaded using the command:

	package require optcl
