Tcl has built in sockets for Tcp/Ip communication over a network or within a single host. The built in socket is powerful and provide a connectivity solution beyond your local host. However to take advantage of the socket facilities one should understand how to program for socket readability, descriptor end of file, session termination and several other network programming skills are required. The socket object provided here adds a layer of abstraction so you can achieve rapid software development using reliable Tcp/Ip socket communication.
The object files come with a sample client / server working example which is simple to follow.

The images on the right are two sample widgets also available in this package.

The widgets are standard TK entry widgets but will only allow valid IP addresses to be entered. The widgets are available in two flavors and are included with all the necessary methods such as: clear, getData, saveData, disable and so on.
