Author Optcl - What happened to it

I used to have optcl to embed COM things into my Tcl applications.
Where can I find it now? The link given in http://wiki.tcl.tk/1822
seems to be dead.

If optcl is not available anymore, how can I put internet explorer in
a "frame"?

Thank you.

optcl was used and included in newzpoint (just the dll)
http://tcl.jtang.org/newzpoint/

I also see the doc pages at
http://www.dgroth.de/tcl8.4.4/win32/optcl.html
(but not the dll)

Is there any alternative to optcl since it is not maintained anymore?
Thanks

I believe that tcom provides much of what optcl did with a slightly
different API.

I have a copy of the sourcecode and I could put it up as a Google
projects or SourceForge project. In the meantime you can grab it from
http://www.patthoyts.tk/programming/optcl-src.zip

tcom doesnt provide for embedding activex controls in tk widgets so
optcl is still pretty useful.
