sl@0: 2. The Distribution
sl@0: -------------------
sl@0: 
sl@0: Macintosh Tcl is distributed in three different forms.  This should
sl@0: make it easier to only download what you need.  Substitute <version>
sl@0: with the version you wish to use. The packages are as follows:
sl@0: 
sl@0: mactk<version>.sea.hqx
sl@0: 
sl@0:     This distribution is a "binary" only release.  It contains an
sl@0:     installer program that will install a 68k, PowerPC, or Fat
sl@0:     version of the "Tcl Shell" and "Wish" applications.  In addition,
sl@0:     it installs the Tcl & Tk libraries in the Extensions folder inside
sl@0:     your System Folder.
sl@0: 
sl@0: mactcltk-full-<version>.sea.hqx
sl@0: 
sl@0:     This release contains the full release of Tcl and Tk for the
sl@0:     Macintosh plus the More Files packages which Macintosh Tcl and Tk
sl@0:     rely on.
sl@0: 
sl@0: mactcl-source-<version>.sea.hqx
sl@0: 
sl@0:     This release contains the complete source for Tcl.  In
sl@0:     addition, Metrowerks CodeWarrior libraries and project files
sl@0:     are included.  However, you must already have the More Files
sl@0:     package to compile this code.
sl@0: 
sl@0: The "html" subdirectory contains reference documentation in
sl@0: in the HTML format.  You may also find these pages at:
