		Andreas Kupries	(a.kupries@westend.com)

This directory contains a freely distributable extension to Tcl
implementing a tcl binding to the pilot-link communication library, 
allowing a tcl script to talk to palm pilots, synchronize databases
and more.


BACKGROUND

Tcl stands for the Tool Command Language, a freely distributable,
embeddable scripting language package.  Tk is an freely distributable X
windows interface toolkit and widget library implemented as a collection of
new commands added to Tcl.

piTcl is developed for Tcl 8.x or higher.  It is a C/Tcl based extension,
Tk is not required.

This distribution contains the source code for piTcl and documentation
describing the new commands. piTcl can be distributed as a part of
pilot-link.
