These are generic (!) instructions to install and execute Tcl/Tk software.


Short
=====

 - copy the binary somewhere you want it to be
 - take shure about the required rights
 - execute it (via a Tcl interpreter)


Detailed
========

This software is written in Tcl (and some extensions - take a look in
the "readme.txt" file). As it is a script it mustn't be installed or
compiled: you can simply execute it.

All you need is a Tcl interpreter (and maybe some extensions for it).
On a Unix or Linux machine everything should be available by your
distribution. If your in front of something different (or your
distribution sucks) take a look here:

  https://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/bindist.html

So, you've got Tcl with everything up on your computer, there should
be a binary called "tclsh", "tclsh9.0" or similar. The basic syntax to
execute a Tcl (and any other!) script is:

  interpreter path/to/script
  tclsh path/to/thisprogram

That's it. In most cases you could expect that your computer knows that
a simple klick on "script" should be interpreted by "tclsh", so this
explanation is already the "hard way" if everything is against you.

But one question is left: Where to put the script? And what is "the
script"? Well, the script is the (readable!) executable shipped within
this archive. On a Unix or Linux system you can copy it to
"/usr/local/bin/", and take sure for the necessary rights:

  chown root:root /usr/local/bin/script
  chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/script

If you don't want it to be installed for anyone else on the machine,
copy the script in your HOME-bin; Maybe you'll need to create it first:

  mkdir ~/bin
  cp script ~/bin/script
  chown yourusername:yourusername ~/bin/script
  chmod 755 ~/bin/script

And at least you might add it to your start menu of your desktop. And
how that has to be done can only be explained by persons knowing your
desktop environment. An icon file therefore is shipped with this
archive.
