- Command Line Interface SHell. A modular framework for implementing a CISCO-like CLI on a *NIX system. Arbitary command menus and actions can be defined using XML files. This software handles the user interaction, and forks the appropriate commands to perform any actions. Compiles to a modified Tcl interpreter (tclish) where each command line action maps to a Tcl script.

- Fork/update of CLISH.
Description edit
Tcl is extensively used to configure
Cisco's
IOS (Internetworking Operating System), which is available in a broad spectrum of Cisco products.
Given Cisco's broad use of
Tcl it would seem reasonable for the company to contribute to the further development of Tcl. Is anyone aware of any activity in this respect?
