 Note that Tcl on Mac OS Classic is no longer supported and likely no longer

 compiles, the last release known to work is 8.4.2. The 'mac' source

 directory and all other Mac Classic code have been removed from Tk 8.5.

 The Mac OS X port of Tcl can be found in the 'macosx' source directory.

 2. The Distribution

 -------------------

 Macintosh Tcl is distributed in three different forms.  This should

 make it easier to only download what you need.  Substitute <version>

 with the version you wish to use. The packages are as follows:

 mactk<version>.sea.hqx

     This distribution is a "binary" only release.  It contains an

     installer program that will install a 68k, PowerPC, or Fat

     version of the "Tcl Shell" and "Wish" applications.  In addition,

     it installs the Tcl & Tk libraries in the Extensions folder inside

     your System Folder.

 mactcltk-full-<version>.sea.hqx

     This release contains the full release of Tcl and Tk for the

     Macintosh plus the More Files packages which Macintosh Tcl and Tk

     rely on.

 mactcl-source-<version>.sea.hqx

     This release contains the complete source for Tcl.  In

     addition, Metrowerks CodeWarrior libraries and project files

     are included.  However, you must already have the More Files

     package to compile this code.

 The "html" subdirectory contains reference documentation in

 in the HTML format.  You may also find these pages at:

 3. Compiling Tcl

 ----------------

 In order to compile Macintosh Tcl you must have the 

 following items:

 	Mac Tcl (sources)

 	More Files 1.4.9

 The included project files should work fine.  However, for
