Tickle

text, tool 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, AppleComputer 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 AppleEvents (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 programs 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.
