WHAT:   Enhanced Tk Console for all Tk platforms

WHERE:  http://tkcon.sourceforge.net/

	http://www.purl.org/net/hobbs/tcl/script/

REQUIREMENTS: Tcl/Tk 8.5+

	Tested through Tcl/Tk 9.0.

        tkcon is all Tcl/Tk code, no compiling required

tkcon is a replacement for the standard console that comes with Tk (on

Windows/Mac, but also works on Unix).  tkcon provides many more features

than the standard console and works on all platforms where Tcl/Tk is

available.  It is meant primarily to aid one when working with the little

details inside tcl and tk and to give Unix users the GUI console provided

by default in the Mac and Windows Tk.

FEATURES:

    Command history

    Path (Unix style) / Proc / Variable name expansion

    Multiple and tabbed consoles, each with its own state (via multiple

        interpreters)

    Captures stdout and stderr to console window (puts overridden)

    Hot errors (click on error result to see stack trace)

    Electric character matching (a la emacs)

    Electric proc highlighting

    Enhanced history searching

    Configurable

    Cut / Copy / Paste between windows (interoperates with native platform)

    Communication between consoles and other Tk interpreters

        (including non-tcl ones)

    Works on all Tk platforms

GETTING STARTED:

tkcon is a single drop-in file.  On Windows, I place this on the desktop

and double-click on it instead of wish/tclsh.  On Unix and OS X, I place it

in a directory on my path and run this instead of wish.

Alternatively, on Unix and Linux use the unix/install-desktop-menu.sh script

to install a desktop link to the tkcon application.

Documentation can be reading by starting with index.html in the doc/

subdirectory.  Happying Tcl'ing!
