First off, there are some links to information like this in the links section of egghelp.org.

Too answer the first question. Yes and no.

Tcl is a simple scripting language, that can be used for shell scripts, and can plugged into application, like it in in eggdrop.

Tcl was chosen, to provide some form of way, of making simple plug-in scripts, to extent eggdrop's capabilities.

As such, the core Tcl language is provided to eggdrop, as it is to every other application with Tcl capabilities.

The main differenace between eggdrop Tcl and ordanary. Mainly, that in eggdrop, there are extra commands, that provide scripts with a way to do there interfacing.

On top of this, there is a event based system, that allows eggdrop to call specific Tcl code.

If you wish to learn Tcl, then you are best off goind in half way down the middle, by learning eggdrop's Tcl at the same time. It will save time, and there is no real differance.
