Hi,

I've been using (non-extended) Tcl/TK for some time now, both on UNIX and on
PC  (great job there, guys!), and I was very happy that I could just use the
PC version without compiling anything.

Is there a way or place where we poor "non-compiler" people could get  
pre-compiled versions of extensions to Tcl/TK, like itcl and BLT ?
(especially those two, but others also welcome :-))

And would this require a complete new set of binaries for tcl and tk for each
extension, or would a separate .dll for each extension be sufficient ?
I've heard some talk about dynamically loadable libraries before, but all that
doesn't seem to be available in a PC environment (yet?) ...

Thanks for any ideas or pointers,

Michel.

It is possible to build dynamically loadable extensions for Tcl under
Windows.  Take a look at the file win31-sample-ext.tar.* on the ftp
site.  It's a little out of date, but it should show you the basic
idea.  Note, however, that you must be using Borland C++ to build a
.dll that can be loaded by Tcl.  Either that or you need to build your
own copy of tcl/tk using your own compiler.
