Intergrating tcl/tk with C

[cptk]

I like to put a gui front-end on a C program, but I don't where to begin.

I read mentions of "Tcl_AppInit" used within Tcl_Main function, but diving farther into it opens up whole new set of commands (from the man pages)of which I not familiar with yet.

Can someone give me an overview as to what needs to take place; is there more than one way to do this?

Note: I've written plenty of tcl/tk scripts, but never intergrating them with C.

Here is a web site that talks about how to imbed Tcl/Tk into a C program:

Thanks for the link (I think I stumbled into this site during my searching ...)

To be more precise in my original request, what I needed was some way to set-up a client/server application. What
seems to be promising is tcl-DP

There is a tcl/tk forum here on site.
The tclers wiki is a good place to start
on all these issues:

Also you could use the google portal to
comp.lang.tcl which is the definitive place
for this question.
