Active TCL for Unix?
in [TCL]

From: Gerhard Reithofer on 13 May 2010 06:23 Hi, I searched for Active TCL for Unix and could not find something on the Activestate site. I found only free community versions Linux, Windows and MAC. Is this cancelled forever (also older versions)? -- Gerhard Reithofer Tech-EDV Support Forum - http://support.tech-edv.co.at

Earlier this year, ActiveState announced that http://www.activestate.com/business_edition/ is available for purchase for development on AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX. Other than that, one has access to the sf.net CVS repositories for almost everything in ActiveTcl if a free option is desired.

As software developer I used for development usually newer versions. As long as there were free versions available I had not to look at a specific version because the companies could download always a new one. I always proposed to use new versions and to buy support - e. g. for security reasons among other things - but I did not really care about that. Now I cannot ignore this when working for the mentioned Unix versions. I have to care (not taken compiling TCL into account), that the customer either has the version I use or he has to buy (or I have to buy for him) the business edition or I have to develop for the version he has or he has (or I have) to use another distribution. Thank you very much. -- Gerhard Reithofer Tech-EDV Support Forum - http://support.tech-edv.co.at

Gerhard, Why not package your application as a StarPack or TclApp? That way, your customer won't even have to install Tcl/Tk and you can always be sure what build is being used by your code. Jeff

The last version of the Tcl Dev Kit that I got came with the wonderful development tools, but no ActiveTcl - instead, there was a pointer to the current ActiveTcl distribution. Now that the "legacy systems" ActiveTcl are a part of the business license program, will a purchase of TDK come with their ActiveTcl distributions? |
