ANNOUNCING: Whimterm 3 (an xterm widget)

[George Peter Staplin]

Whimterm features an xterm widget for Tk. It allows using xterm's
-into feature to embed a regular xterm into a Tk widget.

It supports resizing of the parent, and you can change the font size of
the xterm with ctrl-rightclick and the size will adjust via
Tk_GeometryRequest (if possible).

Here's a screenshot of the xterm widget with some ttk widgets running
with Tk 8.5.2:

It uses Tcl and Tk stubs.

You can download the 3rd revision here (with a BSD license):
http://www.xmission.com/~georgeps/implementation/software/megapkg/Whimterm-3.tar.bz2

To build it you will need to modify the Makefile for your system. No
autoconf goo yet, if ever.

The sources are in megapkg here:
http://megapkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Whimterm/

svn checkout http://megapkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Whimterm

This was inspired by a recent post requesting an xterm widget. I hope
this helps.

Example usage:
pack [xterm .xterm] -fill both -expand 1
