SystemConsole and Tcl GPIB extension

Hi, Anyone tried to add Tcl extensions to SystemConsole? Is it possible? I'm controlling a Stratix IV GX Development kit using SystemConsole and also need to control a synthesizer via GPIB...

Hi Slacker,

AFAIK, System Console, though TCL-like in nature, is actually based upon JACL (TCL on Java).

Thanks for the info.

So...semi-long story short, there are ways to add TCL libraries/capabilities to JACL, but I'm unsure if what you're looking to do would work or not.

I think I'll just start an anti-SystemConsole wiki page instead :)
