Information about the availability of old source-code distributions of [Tcl]

** Description **

   [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894%|%Tcl SourceForge Release Area]:   versions back to 3.3.  Maintained by [Andreas Kupries] and [Jeff Hobbs]

   [ftp://www.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/%|%ftp://www.tcl.tk/pub/tcl]:   versions back to 7.4
   
   [http://kjn009.googlepages.com/tcl6all.tar%|%tcl6all.tar]:   [KJN] I have retrieved a number of old versions of Tcl 6.x and matching versions of Tk by FTP from old mirrors. The tarball (7.0Mb) contains these versions not available from SourceForge: Tcl 6.1 and 6.5; Tk 2.2, 2.3, and 3.0; and assorted patches.  Also alleged DOS ports for Tcl 6.2 and 6.7.

   [http://www.purl.org/net/akupries/soft/cvs-snapshots/%|%cvs snapshots]:   by [AK], snapshots of Tcl and various packages, dating back to 2001

   [George Petasis]:   had some old versions mirrored at http://www.iit.demokritos.gr/~petasis/Tcl/index.html
   [http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl-binaries.html%|%Binaries for Tcl/Tk of interest to Cameron Laird]:   by [CL], contains version 4.1b3 for Windows and Mac, and version 7.4 for Mac.  http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.unix.misc/unix_binaries.html may also be relevant

[AK]: Anybody who has versions of Tcl not found in Tcl's SourceForge release area
[[we need a hyperlink to a page which explains the SF releases]], please notify either me or [Jeff Hobbs] of this fact, as well as where to find them, to allow us to get them for the SF collection. I now have copied [KJN]'s tarball and hope to have time to put them up soon.

----
The old Sprite distributions should have a very early Tcl.  ''(Tcl and Tk were originally available by FTP from the hosts sprite.berkeley.edu and barkley.berkeley.edu; these hosts have long been disconnected.  [John Ousterhout]'s Sprite network operating system project [http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/CS/sprite/retrospective.html] ended several years ago.)''

The oldest version at SourceForge is [Tcl 2.1].
