ReadMe - Frontbase extension for Tclx

Version 0.95

The FrontBase extension Tcl requires that Tcl has ben installed on the system. Tcl can be downloaded from http://dev.scriptics.com/.

This version has been tested on Windows 2000 and Linux-Mandrake both with Tcl 8.3.

Windows users can download tcl_fbsql.dll. All other users should download the source file.

Build and instalation

Unpack tcl_fbsql.tar.gz and cd to tcl_fbsql. There is no configuration script yet so you might have to edit Makefile.linux to match the actual instalation of FrontBase. Build with the command 'make -f Makefile.linux'.
