moat(1)

NAME
     moat - the standard Tcl Motif interpreter

SYNOPSIS
     moat  [file] options...

DESCRIPTION
     This is the standard interpreter for executing Tcl Motif 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.
