Your mail should include:
[incr tcl]
which is an object
oriented version of the Tool Command Language (tcl). Tcl was written
by John Ousterhout of U.C. Berkeley and Sun Labs, Itcl was written by
Michael McLennan of Lucent. For more information about Itcl,
including a PostScript tutorial, see the Itcl homepage at http://www.tcltk.com
.
Ptolemy is written in C++, and uses Tcl/Tk and the X Window System.

Tycho0.1.1 does not include some of the Ptolemy features we have been working on, as they require changes to Ptolemy0.6
This was a design decision made by the Tycho authors. In some cases, we decided to use a simpler widget. In other cases the functionality we needed was missing. We also wanted the widget we wrote to use some of the features of Tycho, such as automatically generated documentation and active tcl examples.
Also, we wanted to be able to provide an easily extensible environment for non-programmers, which makes an interpreted language such as Tcl a stronger candidate than a compiled language such as Java.
