Comparing TCC and TCC/LE

TCC comes in two versions: the full TCC as distributed with Take Command, and TCC/LE, which is distributed with Take Command LE and is also available separately in a free but unsupported version. We will refer to TCC in this section to mean both TCC and TCC/LE, except where a feature is flagged Not in LE.

TCC/LE contains a subset of the TCC commands, variables, and variable functions.  In addition, TCC/LE does not include the following TCC features:

TCC/LE does include the full command line editing, alias, filename completion, directory navigation, file selection, and regular expression support in TCC.  All internal commands supported in TCC/LE include all options in the full TCC version.

If an internal command, variable function, or internal variable is not supported in TCC/LE, the heading for that topic in this help file will include Not in LE.

The following table lists the TCC commands supported in TCC/LE -- and, by way of comparison, with the default Windows command processor CMD.  Most of the CMD commands have only a limited subset of the options and/or functionality in the equivalent TCC command. (Commands marked with a * in the CMD column are external Windows commands.)

The following table lists the TCC internal variables supported in TCC/LE (none are included in CMD):
