Can anyone tell me what Tcl is and what it does. Is there
a need for it to be on my computer? I have an HP 552W and
all I use most often is just outlook, IE, yahoo messenger
service. I am the owner/administrator of this computer,
and I did not download Tcl. I also dont believe it came
preinstalled on this computer. Can someone shed light on
this for me?
Thanks in advance for your expert reply

What is it which makes you curious about TCL? You didn't mention why
you have a hunch it might be something you need. What's the thought
behind your question and maybe we can answer more appropriately?

TCL could be anything, but in computers it normally refers to the
scripting language of the same name. I don't know what T_C_L stands for.
Search on Google for more info on TCL.

Well my hunch is that it is not something I need. I have
it installed on this computer and I know it did not come
preinstalled with all the other stuff. I also did not
download it, so I am curious what it is, what it does, and
why I have it. It has an executable file called wish80.exe
and I just don't want it if I don't need it.
Thanks

Google on "tcl" and read about it.

My hunch is you don't need it. And if it turns out you do need it, you
will probably get an error message which says something like "can't find
TCL"

Find the file with Windows Explorer, right-click on it, select
"properties," which may give you some information about the file, such
as a description of the file, where it came from, etc.
