TclRAL is an implementation of the Relational Algebra as an extension of the
Tcl Language. TclRAL is coded in "C" and provides new data types that are
integrated into Tcl's internal object system.

Version 0.7 is now available from the project site at SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclral

New for Version 0.7:

1. TEA compliant build procedures.

2. Limited support for "virtual" relvars. Virtual relvars define a
    "view" that may be any relation valued expression. The expression
    is evaluated when the relvar value is requested. Note this is a
    very limited form of views in that no updating of the base relvars
    through the view is allowed.

A source release is available and a binary linux-386 is also available. As I
don't have access to compilers under Windows there is no Windows binary
package available. Any kind soul that manages to build TclRAL under Windows
and would like to donate back the binaries, I would be happy to include
them under the release.
