import tcl-itcl-current-20040920. This is a snapshot from the [incr Tcl] CVS
repository. They have not made a release in years but development has continued. The largest item of note is this version works with tcl-8.4. [incr Tcl] provides the extra language support needed to build large Tcl/Tk applications. It introduces the notion of objects, which act as building blocks for an application. Each object is a bag of data with a set of procedures or "methods" that are used to manipulate it. Objects are organized into "classes" with identical characteristics, and classes can inherit functionality from one another. This object-oriented paradigm adds another level of organization on top of the basic variable/procedure elements, and the resulting code is easier to understand and maintain. This package is based on CVS sources for [incr Tcl].
