Tk is an extension of Tcl aimed at building either user interface controls or the components for them. With the tclsh and wish shells, they provide, among other capabilities, the quick and easy development of Motif-like user interface screens. This book, written by the author of Tel and Tk, is primarily documentation for those tools. In addition, however, the work gives substantial advice and insight into the design of languages and the interpretation and parsing of expressions. With the source code for Tcl and Tk, freely available via ftp, the package would provide a practical hands-on experience for those interested in the field. copyright Robert M.
