A pure Tcl implementation of [incr Tcl].

Available from http://incrtcl.sourceforge.net/ (click on ''File Distributions'').

Useful when you want to distribute an application that requires [incr Tcl], and you don't know if it is available on the target system. (Or when you don't want to bother users with requiring them to install any add-on packages beyond Tcl/Tk itself.) Since the "real" incr Tcl is part of all known "[Batteries Included]" distributions of Tcl/Tk, and is also part of [Tclkit], there are few remaining use cases for Tcl++.

There are some subtle discrepancies in functionality that are easily avoided.

----

[FPX] likes to use the following code, which

   * attempts to load [incr Tcl], or if that fails,
   * loads tcl++, and fakes the presence of incr Tcl.

For that purpose, applications that require it include a copy of tcl++.

 if {[catch {
    package require Itcl
 }]} {
    #
    # If we can't have Itcl, load tcl++
    #

    lappend auto_path [file join [file dirname [info script]] tcl++]
    package require tcl++

    #
    # Fake presence of Itcl
    #

    namespace eval ::itcl {
      namespace import -force ::tcl++::class
      namespace import -force ::tcl++::delete
    }

    package provide Itcl 3.0
 }

Another package that used the ''tcl++'' name in the past:

 What: tcl++
 Where: From the contact
 Description: Tcl based code providing SELF-like prototype-based tcl objects.
 Updated: 
 Contact: mailto:hwan@apple.com (Hansel Wan)

 What: Tcl++/Tk++
 Where: http://www.amath.washington.edu/%7Elf/software/tcl++/ 
 Description: A package that makes development of extended Tcl/Tk
        interpreters easier and more pleasant for C++ programmers.
        It does not patch the core, nor need the Tcl internals.
        This also includes a small object oriented extension as well
        as some widgets for Tk.
        Further development of Tcl++ is on hold right now.
