Welcome to tcl.prehiti.net, the home of a number of helpful, portable applications and utilities created with Tcl/Tk.  Among these applications are productivity apps, software development tools and image management utilities.  Additionally, a number of libraries written to support these applications are included and available for integration in other applications.
 

Overview

Click on the individual application links below to learn more about them.

Development Tools mcvs.tcl A graphical front-end for CVS mc3.tcl A wizard for creating new C++ classes tclsed.tcl A recursive search/replace tool

Image Tools pv.tcl An image browsing utility similar to XV pvsort.tcl An image sorting utility pvconv.tcl An image conversion utility pvindex.tcl A tool for generating web indices from collections of images pvthumbs.tcl A tool for generating thumbnails for collections of images deinterlace.tcl A tool for de-interlacing images captured from video

Productivity Tools popit.tcl   Polls multiple POP3 accounts and sends notification of new mail to a single email address (to a cell phone for instance) tkbabel.tcl A graphical front-end to AltaVista's babel engine... very fun tkpim.tcl A database-driven, auto hyper-linked note-keeping application tkget.tcl A graphical front-end for wget tkget2.tcl A new, improved graphical front-end for wget

Administrative Tools pld.tcl   A utility for generating a web log of  "ping" performance to a certain host plp.tcl A utility for parsing the output of pld.tcl to get additional performance stats plg.tcl A utility that shows "real-time" ping statistics for a host in a cute, color-coded graph. tkweblog.tcl A utility for parsing and querying Apache HTTP server logs.

Requirements

Ok... this isn't that complicated... but it's really important.

You need:

• Tcl/Tk 8.2 or higher.
• IncrTcl 3.0 or higher.  You need IncrTcl 3.1 in order to dynamically load IncrTcl into a Tcl 8.2 interpreter.  This link will get you everything you need for Win32.  You can download a source distro of IncrTcl 3.1 here or here.
• The Image Extension to Tcl.

Download

Go to the tcl.prehiti.net project page at sourceforge.net to get the latest version of the software from CVS.

Installation

1. Install Tcl/Tk 8.2 or above.
• For Unix... get a source distro or rpm and do the usual.
• For Win32, download this and install.  Make sure you select the checkbutton for installing the IncrTcl bits.
2. Install IncrTcl 3.1 or above.
• For Unix, get the source distro for IncrTcl here or here and do the usual.
• For Win32, the install for Tcl/Tk above includes the IncrTcl bits.
3. Install the Image Extension.
• For Unix, get the source distro or x86 libc6 rpm and do the usual.
• For Win32, get the installer and install.
4. Put the  tcl.prehiti.net software somewhere.
• For the sake of this example, let's say you put the tcl.prehiti.net software in /usr/local/prehititcl on Unix or c:\prehititcl on Win32.
• Make sure this directory is in your path.
• Add the following to your environment:
• On Unix, "setenv TCLLIBPATH /usr/local/prehititcl/lib"
• On Win32, "set TCLLIBPATH=c:/prehititcl/lib".  Note the forward slashes!!!


Problems?

Try running one of the tcl.prehiti.net apps.  Running mcvs.tcl and pv.tcl will shake out most of the installation issues.  If these apps fail to run they will most likely indicate that a particular package cannot be found.  If one of the tcl.prehiti.net libraries cannot be found, then make sure you did step 4 above correctly.  If IncrTcl or the Image Extension fail to load make sure they installed into the same location as Tcl/Tk or add more directories to your TCLLIBPATH to reflect their locations.  Note, directory names in the TCLLIBPATH variable should be seperated by spaces.
