-D- EMACS modes for Tcl
EMACS itself can be found at <URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html> and <URL: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html> among other places. <URL: mailto:snl+@cs.cmu.edu> (Sean Levy) has hacked a version of Emacs's C mode into a tcl-mode.el. He mentions that you must use semi-colons at the end of each statement to get indentation to work right, but he found that easier than doing without. The code is on <URL: ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/snl/pub/tcl-mode.el.z> (don't forget binary mode) . <URL: mailto:jules@kauri.vuw.ac.nz> (Julian Anderson) was also working on an Emacs Tcl minor mode to fundamental. <URL: mailto:tromey@busco.lanl.gov> (Tom Tromey) has contributed a tcl.el which is better than his former tcl-help.el. This is a modified version of Chris Lindblad's Tcl editing mode. This new editing mode contains the help code, a tcl interaction mode, menus, font lock support, etc. It is available on the Emacs Lisp Archive at <URL: ftp://archive.cis.ohio-state.edu/pub/emacs/elisp-archive/modes/tcl.el.Z> <URL: http://drip.colorado.edu/%7Etromey/src/tcl.el>. <URL: mailto:schmid@fb3-s7.math.TU-Berlin.DE> (Gregor Schmid) has written a major mode for tcl scripts. He posted tcl-mode 1.1 to gnu.emacs.sources in March and it should be on the Ohio State emacs elisp-archive - but I was not able to locate it. The latest version of xemacs (formerly lemacs) mentions that it has a tcl-mode built in. Use (add-hook 'tcl-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) to turn on color highliting. Donal K. Fellows <URL: mailto:fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk> has an extra elisp library at <URL: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/%7Efellowsd/tcl/#fontlock> which provides enhanced syntax highlighting (font lock). An alternative URL mentioned was <URL: http://r8h.cs.man.ac.uk:800/tcl/>. Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <URL: mailto:larsi@ifi.uio.no> has written Expect functionality in an elisp package. It is going to be included in Emacs in a future release. Email the contact about details. David Schweikert <URL: mailto:dwschwei@stud.ee.ethz.ch> has written a tcl/tk mode for JED. You can download it at: <URL: http://www.ee.ethz.ch/%7Edwschwei/jed/tclmode.sl>. Other editors have syntax highlighting for Tcl. For instance CRISP, GWD <URL: http://www.gwdsoft.com/>, and some vi-based editors are frequently mentioned. Also there is moonshine, which can be found at <URL: http://www.rednecksoft.com/>. jEdit is a Java based Open Source text editor which has Tcl syntax highlighting amount its features. See <URL: http://www.jedit.org/ > for more details.
