Developers who are involved in creating Web / desktop applications, performing network programming or embedded development might use a precompiled distribution of the Tcl programming environment.

ActiveTcl was created in order to offer users a quality-assured distribution of Tcl. By using this package, people will be able to perform an easy install and deployment of Tcl on their preferred systems.

Providing users with the latest stable release of Tcl in binary form, ActiveTcl also comes packed with several of the most popular extensions, which are pre-compiled and are ready to use.

When downloading and installing this package, users can expect to find the binary code for the Tcl distribution, some of the most popular expressions, which are pre-compiled, self extracting archives for the selected platform and a complete documentation.

Featuring several components, the package will offer users the “tkcon” console, “VFS Explorer module”, “Tk Widget Demonstration" utility, “wish86” console and “Tclsh86” command-line based utility.

The “Tk Widget Demonstration" utility provides people with multiple scripts that are meant at demonstrating the capabilities of Tk widgets. When selecting a preferred demonstration module, one can view its corresponding code and browse through it using the provided console.
