Tickle

A {text editor}, file translator and {TCL}

{interpreter} for the {Macintosh}.

Version 5.0v1. The text editor breaks the 32K limit (like

{MPW}).

The file translation utilities support {drag and drop}

handling via tcl scripts of {BinHex}, {MacBinary}, {Apple

Computer} Single/Double, {StuffIt} (with engine), {Unix}

{compress}, {Unix} {tar} and {UUencode} files as well as text

translation.

Tickle implements tcl 7.0 with {tclX} extensions and

{Macintosh} equivalents of {Unix}'s {ls}, {pwd}, {cd}

commands. It provides Macintosh access to {Resource Manager},

{Communications Toolbox}, {OSA} Components (and

{AppleScript}), {Editions} (publish and subscribe) and {Apple

Events} (including AEBuild and AEPrint). {OSA Script} support

allows programming of any OSA scripting component within

Tickle interpreter windows. It provides the OSAtcl and OSAJ

{J}/{APL} extensions and creates "Ticklets" which are small

{application program}s that carry only the tcl script and use

code in the OSAtcl component to drive an application that

allows {drag and drop} with tcl scripts. Tickle is scriptable

and recordable.
