NAME

moat - the standard tclMotif interpreter

SYNOPSIS

moat [file] options...

DESCRIPTION

This is the standard tclMotif interpreter for executing tclMotif programs. Specialised versions of this may be built, or it can have tcl extensions added to it.

The moat interpreter is an extension to the Tcl interpreter tclsh. If it is run with no file argument it reads commands from standard input. If it is run with a file argument (which is a file name not beginning with a `-' sign) it reads and executes commands from that file.

The options are the standard Xt options, which typically consist of an option name beginning with a `-' and an option value. A typical option is

: -geometry 200x200+10-20

RESOURCES

moat when run with no file argument has an instance name of moat and a class name of Moat. When run with a file argument it takes its instance name from the file name. The class name may be set by an option to xtAppInitialize within a program. If it is not set explicitly it is contructed from the file name. This is done by capitalising the first character, and if this is an `x' also capitalising the second letter.

BUGS

None known.
