Tcl Dev Kit, Create and deploy professional Tcl applications

Tcl Dev Kit vs. TclPro

The Tcl Dev Kit (TDK) includes everything you need for fast development of self-contained, easily-deployable applications. Turn your Tcl programs into ready-to-run executables for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX. TDK also offers a suite of tools to speed development time and improve code quality.
