Name

db_engine_tcl_v2 - TCL interpreter for AccelNET

Synopsis

db_engine_tcl_v2 <tcl_file> <args>

Description

This program provides an interface between TCL and AccelNET.

This allows various types of clients for AccelNET to be written in TCL rather than writing them in C.

It uses version 8.5a4 of the Tcl library.

Arguments

Parsing of the arguments is simple minded. All of the arguments marked "required" must be present or the program will complain and exit.
tcl_file - required

The TCL program to be executed by db_engine_tcl.
args - optional

Additional arguments which may be accessed by the TCL program.

Notes

This manual page needs a lot more added to it.

The latest version of the AccelNET TCL commands are documented in db_engine_cmds_v2.notes and db_engine_mngr_cmds_v2.notes in the src directory.

Older versions of the .notes files are also kept in the src directory as db_engine_cmds_v2_<version>.notes and db_engine_mngr_cmds_v2_<version>.notes.

Eventually the commands should be made into a set of manual pages.

This program needs to have /AccelNET/tcl_v2 installed to function properly.

The older versions of the program are db_engine_tcl and db_engine_wish. These versions are available because there are known differences in behavior of the Tk libraries and possibly the Tcl library. Programs using db_engine need to be examined to ensure they function correctly with the newer version of db_engine.
