OTcl 1.0a4 and TclCl 1.0b8 have now been released.



What is OTcl?
----------
 
OTcl, short for MIT Object Tcl, is an extension to Tcl/Tk for
object-oriented programming. It shouldn't be confused with the IXI
Object Tcl extension by Dean Sheenan. (Sorry, but we both like the
name and have been using it for a while.)

OTcl was presented at the Tcl/Tk Workshop '95. It constitutes a
standalone release of a system that has been in use, embedded in the
VuSystem, for two years. We made the release public (with free use,
distribution and modification under the MIT license) to meet the
demand for object-oriented programming in Tcl.


What is TclCl?
----------
TclCl, formerly known as libTcl, is a set of functions which provide
connectivity between C++ and OTCL.
