Tcl is Tool Command Language, an extensible scripting language. TK is a 
graphical toolkit extension to Tcl that provides a whole lot of widgets
for creating applications using Tcl. You can get Tcl/Tk from
ftp://ftp.syd.dit.csiro.au/pub/tk/smli or
ftp://ftp.dstc.edu.au/pub/linux/devel/tcl

What you end up with is some libraries for developing Tcl/Tk applications,
and a couple of shells, tclsh for tcl and wish (windowing shell) for tcl/tk
applications.

You might want to read the FAQ from the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup.

Most linux distributions include Tcl/tk.
