+OpenOCD includes a small ``Tcl Interpreter'' known as JIM-Tcl.
+This programming language provides a simple and extensible
+command interpreter.
+
+All commands presented in this Guide are extensions to JIM-Tcl.
+You can use them as simple commands, without needing to learn
+much of anything about Tcl.
+Alternatively, can write Tcl programs with them.
+
+You can learn more about JIM at its website, @url{http://jim.berlios.de}.

+fewer features. JIM-Tcl is a single .C file and a single .H file and
+implements the basic Tcl command set. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
+4.2 MB .zip file containing 1540 files.
