Tcom is a Windows-specific Tcl extension that provides commands to access and implement COM objects. This extension enables client-side and server-side scripting of COM objects through IDispatch and IUnknown derived interfaces.

INSTALLATION

This distribution includes compiled libraries that can be loaded by the binary release of Tcl/Tk 8.2 or later for Windows. Copy the contents of the lib directory to the Tcl library directory. For example, if the Tcl library directory is C:Tcllib, enter this command at the command prompt:

xcopy lib C:Tcllib /s

TCL ACTIVE SCRIPT ENGINE

This distribution includes an experimental implementation of a Tcl Active Script engine. It implements just enough of the IActiveScript and IActiveScriptParse interfaces to enable Internet Explorer and Windows Script Host to run simple scripts. It works with the ActiveTcl binary distribution from ActiveState. To register the script engine (assuming the Tcl library directory is C:Tcllib), change the current working directory to C:TcllibTclScript and run the register.tcl script.
