Macintosh Tcl is distributed in three different forms.  This should
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    34  | 
make it easier to only download what you need.  Substitute <version>
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    35  | 
with the version you wish to use. The packages are as follows:
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    36  | 
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    37  | 
mactk<version>.sea.hqx
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    38  | 
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    39  | 
    This distribution is a "binary" only release.  It contains an
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    40  | 
    installer program that will install a 68k, PowerPC, or Fat
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    41  | 
    version of the "Tcl Shell" and "Wish" applications.  In addition,
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    42  | 
    it installs the Tcl & Tk libraries in the Extensions folder inside
  | 
| 
sl@0
 | 
    43  | 
    your System Folder.
