TclX
TclX, an abbreviation for extended Tcl, was one of the first freely available Tcl extensions to the Tcl programming language,[1] providing new operating system interface commands, extended file controls, time and date manipulation, scanning and status commands and many others.[1] While many features of TclX have been incorporated into Tcl, TclX continued to be updated, providing Tcl interfaces to many Unix/Linux system calls and library routines, expanded list functions, and so forth. No new releases have been issued since November 2012, with 8.4.1 being the latest; however, version 8.6 is in preparation.
TclX is shipped by Debian and as part of Mac OS X.[2] It is also available as an RPM for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, openSUSE, and the Mandriva versions of Linux,[3] and as a port for FreeBSD,[4] among others.
TclX was developed by Karl Lehenbauer and Mark Diekhans.
