Abstract

We describe the TclOSAScript extension to MacTcl. TclOSAScript provides the ability for MacTcl scripts to run scripts in any other OSA compatible language on the Macintosh. Since the OSA is the standard mechanism for interapplication communication on the Mac, this allows MacTcl to run other applications, and provides an exec like facility (though arguably using a much richer communication model.)
