-1. Introduction
----------------
-
-This directory contains the binary distribution of Tcl/Tk 8.5a6 for
-Windows. It was compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 using Win32
-API, so that it will run under Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP.
-
-Tcl provides a powerful platform for creating integration applications
-that tie together diverse applications, protocols, devices, and
-frameworks. When paired with the Tk toolkit, Tcl provides the fastest
-and most powerful way to create GUI applications that run on PCs, Unix,
-and Mac OS X. Tcl can also be used for a variety of web-related
-tasks and for creating powerful command languages for applications.
-
-Tcl is maintained, enhanced, and distributed freely by the Tcl community.
-

-3. Installation
----------------
-
-The binary release is distributed as a self-extracting archive called

-installation directory. It will create the installation heirarchy
-under the specified directory, and install a wish application icon
-under the program manager group of your choice.
-
-We are no longer supporting use of Tcl with 16-bit versions of
-Windows. Microsoft has completely dropped support of the Win32s
-subsystem.
-
-4. Linking against the binary release
---------------------------------------
-
-In order to link your applications against the .dll files shipped with
-this release, you will need to use the appropriate .lib file for your
-compiler. In the lib directory of the installation directory, there
-are library files for the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler:
-
- tcl85.lib
- tk85.lib
-
-5. Building dynamically loadable extensions
---------------------------------------------
-
-Please refer to the example dynamically loadable extension provided on
-our ftp site:
-
- ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/misc/example.zip
-
-This archive contains a template that you can use for building
-extensions that will be loadable on Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X
-systems.
-
-6. Reporting Bugs
------------------
-If you have comments or bug reports for the Windows version of Tcl,
-please use our online database at:
-
- http://tcl.sourceforge.net/
-
-or post them to the newsgroup comp.lang.tcl.
-
-7. Tcl newsgroup
------------------
-
-There is a network news group "comp.lang.tcl" intended for the exchange
-of information about Tcl, Tk, and related applications. Feel free to use
-the newsgroup both for general information questions and for bug reports.
-We read the newsgroup and will attempt to fix bugs and problems reported
-to it.
-
-When using comp.lang.tcl, please be sure that your e-mail return address
-is correctly set in your postings. This allows people to respond directly
-to you, rather than the entire newsgroup, for answers that are not of
-general interest. A bad e-mail return address may prevent you from
-getting answers to your questions. You may have to reconfigure your news
-reading software to ensure that it is supplying valid e-mail addresses.
-
-8. Tcl contributed archive

-
-Many people have created exciting packages and applications based on Tcl
-and/or Tk and made them freely available to the Tcl community. An archive
-of these contributions is kept on the machine ftp.neosoft.com. You
-can access the archive using anonymous FTP; the Tcl contributed archive is
-in the directory "/pub/tcl". The archive also contains several FAQ
-("frequently asked questions") documents that provide solutions to problems
-that are commonly encountered by TCL newcomers.
