General information
General information
Agent Tcl is a UNIX application and is known to compile on the following platforms.
The source code should be easily portable to any Unix platform that provides TCP/IP and Berkley sockets. Other platforms will require more work.
Please read the licensing terms that come with the software and please remember that Agent Tcl is an alpha release. Do not be surprised if you find a bug.
Source
You can download the source distribution as a single file:
agent.1.1.tar.gz (2.07 MB)
or as five separate files:
agent.1.1.part1.tar.gz (0.27 MB)
agent.1.1.part2.tar.gz (0.27 MB)
agent.1.1.part3.tar.gz (0.40 MB)
agent.1.1.part4.tar.gz (0.56 MB)
agent.1.1.part5.tar.gz (0.57 MB)
Uncompress and untar the five files in the same directory.
Patches
There have been thirteen patches since the initial release, but since virtually every file in the initial release has now been affected, the patches are no longer available separately. Patches for this release were managed poorly, which has led to the need for a complete redownload; patches for the next release will be managed better.
If the date of any patch is the same as or later than the date on which you downloaded the source code, you should download the complete source code again. You will have to recompile and reinstall.
