At some point ActiveState required me to register for a free account to download ActiveTcl from their website, which I did. The website then gave me a dashboard and words like project and builds and forking, which I don't really understand.

Now when I log in, I see a dashboard with two options:

Attachment 190260

If I click on the second choice, I am offered ActiveTcl-8.6.9.8609.2-macosx...

If I go to the Overview tab and click View All Available Builds I get the same thing. Ditto if I click the Download Builds tab.

I'm not sure about command line tools and it's entirely possible that I'm missing a whole other developer section that I don't understand
I'm flying a bit blind myself. I'm just going by some descriptions of something called the "Active Platform" that sounded to me like it ran on the local machine (from the command-line). But I could be wrong. The free account may be limited to 8.5 on macOS using that method as well.

I think the bottom line, here is that ActiveState has really jumped the shark on this change.
