4501.0. "Tcl support for DUNIX 3.2d until they move to 4.0?" by TENNIS::KAM (AltaVista Software 714/261-4133 DTN 535.4133) Tue Feb 25 1997 01:43

    A customer is using Digital UNIX 3.2d and the AltaVista Tunnel Server.
    They want to use a Web-based key Management, which relies on Tcl. 
    I noticed in the 4.0a documentation that Tcl is supported.  I don't
    know if it's supported in 3.2x, I'm checking in the Digital UNIX
    notesfile.
    
    Is there a Tcl interpreter that we can share with them until they move
    to 4.0a, shortly?  Customer doesn't want to have to compile anything.

grab Tcl off the net.  Works fine.

You should have all you need in /usr/opt/DTU100/lib to do key management 
with the tunnel.  I don't think you'll need to install Tcl at all.

	I've been using Tcl 7.3 and 7.5 for the Software Distribution Server
  running Digital Unix 3.2x for the past two years.  No problem.  I have no
  idea what's in 4.0a.

    The tunnel software comes with tcl.  Thats what the GUI runs in.  If
    the customer wants to do web management then they will need to use
    tclkm which is a tcl/tk shell that knows how to generate keys and
    manipulate the tunnel database.  You might want to contact the people
    at Dascomb road or Ken [email protected], who have allready done some
    work on Web management for tunnels.   The next version of Tunnels for
    UNIX (June/July) will include web managment using tcl..

to the best of my (fuzzy) recollection, all we needed to do
was to dig up a copy of tcl_cgi in order to get the web
key management software going.  You can confirm that's needed
by checking some of the example scripts, to see if
they need it (if so, first line will be)
	#! /usr/local/bin/tcl_cgi
(the directory might be different).  We didn't start with
the tunnel example files; it's likely they do include it
if they use it.

Actually, tcl_cgi on the web doesn't seem to build on Digital Unix.  I've
got a fixed version.  If anyone has a pointer to tcl_cgi on the web that
actually builds and works with Tcl 7.6, can you send me the pointer?

Most people end up writing their own argument parsing routines.

	tcl_cgi was designed for Tcl v7.3.  Noone has gotten around to making
  the changes required for 7.5 and later.  The interface changed in a minor way,
  but in an incompatible way.  That's why I haven't gotten my stuff to V7.5.
  Jeff, you should ask Dave Griffin.  He's almost certainly done it for 7.5 since
  AV Forum uses it.
