ANNOUNCE: TkCon v0.60 - Enhanced Tk Console

[Jeffrey Hobbs]

WHAT: [beta release] Enhanced Tk Console v0.60 for all Tk platforms

WHERE: http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/~jhobbs/work/tkcon/

REQUIREMENTS: Tcl 7.5 / Tk 4.1 (as least the stable versions)
TkCon is all Tcl/Tk code, no compiling required

WHY: 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.

UPDATE FROM v0.52: About 40 noted changes since last release, mostly
feature enhancements. Among others: better incrTcl cooperation, new
Find box, rearranged menus, beginnings of debugging procs, new docs.
Sorry, but the numerous features additions are not all well-documented.
I'll get to it as time permits, but don't be afraid to experiment.

FEATURES:
Command history
Path (Unix style) / Proc / Variable name expansion
Multiple consoles, each with its own state (via multiple interpreters)
Captures stdout and stderr to console window (puts overridden)
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
