It's worth it, although libsmi (just do a search for it) probably
has better MIB parsing abilities.  Jrgen's group did libsmi as well,
and he's mentioned that he'd like to at some point replace the current
scotty mib parser with libsmi's.

Yes.  The Tnm::mib enums command will return the list of enums
associated with a object/type.  I entered your mib objects into
a test mib and loaded it into scotty 3.0.0, and here are some
commands:

% puts $tnm(version)
3.0.0
% mib type objectWithTc
TEST-MIB!ObjectWithTc
% mib type objectWithoutTc
TEST-MIB!ObjectWithoutTc
% mib enums TEST-MIB!ObjectWithTc
tcOne 2 tcTwo 3 tcThree 4
% mib range TEST-MIB!ObjectWithoutTc
0 1439
%

So it should give you what you want.

Use the CVS commands from the web page - the version from CVS is quite
a bit newer.  Someone recently contributed fixed for Tcl 8.4 updates as
well.

Check the scotty mailing list for some recent discussions of putting
out 3.0.x.  The best place I've found for docs on 3.0.x is to download
it from CVS, install it and take a look at the man pages.

Well, libsmi is a C library, so TCL scripts don't really apply.
It comes with a number of bundled tools to do various things
with SMI data, or you can easily write your own (the API is
quite straightforward), but they would have to be in C.
