# STERNO - Simple Tcl Extra Really Nice Objects

### Sterno 0.2: 16 Feb 1998

Sterno is a very simple object system for Tcl that is entirely implemented in the Tcl language. Sterno was designed to be as a straight-forward mechanism for structured data encapsulation and management. It provides an object is a command model similar to Tk and supports basic fields and methods. Sterno is not intended to be a replacement for full-featured object systems, such as [Incr Tcl]. In fact, there is currently no inheritance mechanism (and may never be). It should be simple to learn for anyone familiar with the basics of modern object-oriented languages.

Sterno is built on top of the Tcl 8.0 namespace system and consistence of less than 200 executable lines of Tcl code. It was developed by Mark Diekhans <markd@grizzly.com> because I needed it. Please report bugs and suggestions to this address; remember the underlying philosophy of small tools for small tasks.
