I did some searching and discovered that Secure FTP is a service running on Windows which makes the existing FTP software secure therefore there is nothing for me to change with my TCL script. However, I would like to change my TCL script so it doesn't create a text file script which is read by...

Does anyone have info about writing TCL scripts which use Secure FTP for file transfers? I have written TCL scripts which automatically write FTP scripts and run them but I'm a bit clueless about using Secure FTP.

I have written programs which are used by approx 1,000 users in my workplace. I am writing a new set of programs and am being pressured to avoid distributing source code. I also don't want to upgrade 1,000 PC's to a new version of TCL. Does anybody know how to create and run bytecode on the...

the variable $argv0 will give you the name of the script being run.

When trying to create the folder TEST in the shared folder SHARE1 on server SERVER1 using the TCL command "file mkdir \\\\SERVER1\\SHARE1\\TEST" I end up with folders SERVER1\SHARE1\TEST under the shared folder SHARE1. I tested this with wish80 & wish84 and got the same results. I tried numerous...

Anybody know how to list the number of prints in a print queue? I am writing a program to automatically print thousands of engineering drawings and want it to loop and possibly display an error message if there are too many drawings already in the queue.

I'm using Wish 8.0 and it will be a major undertaking to upgrade 1000 PCs in the company to a later version. I tried the "package require Img" and got an error. How do I acquire Img? Is it standard with later versions of TCL?

Forget about everything written above. I just need to know how to read a Windows BMP file into TCL. I get the error "format error in bitmap data" when using the command "image create bitmap Text -file test.bmp". Apparently TCL wants an X11 bitmap and not a WIndows bitmap...

I want to compare changes on engineering drawings and I was considering converting them to BMP format. I would like to overlay two images, have transparent backgrounds, linework of one image black and the linework of the other image red. I want to be able to shift 1 image in the x,y by several...

I am investigating the use of OpenGL.

I am experimenting with TCL & OpenGL. I have written a TCL program which creates 3d wire frame geometry and assigns tags to every piece of geometry. I am considering modifying the program to utilize OpenGL but have not yet determined if I can assign tags to lines and arcs and query the tags by...

I have a need to display 3D wireframe graphics and have used code from Keith Vetter's Octabug, 3D to 2D transformation program. This works ok but it creates an illusion of perspective (parallel lines converge). I am looking for TCL code which works similiar to this but without the distortion. In...

Does anyone have info about using TCL/TK to customize AutoCad instead of using AutoLisp and Visual Basic?

I rebooted the NT and everything is now ok. Thanks.

I am using Wish 8.0 and recently my NT has gotten into a mode so the tk_messageBox windows in all the programs I have written popup in the lower right corner of the screen and I would like them to popup in the middle of the screen. Any ideas?
