Subject: Can BLT be replaced by Tcl packages ?

Hi,
I have a Tcl software which uses several commands of the BLT package.
The problem is that binary versions of BLT are not
available on all platforms which are currently supported by Tcl, in
particular
the Active State distribution. Example : HP, Sun, etc...

I would like to replace the BLT commands that I use with
standard Tcl scripts so that I can have a more portable software.
Here is the full list of BLT commands that I use :
blt::graph
blt::vector
blt::barchart
blt::busy
blt::bgexec
blt::winop

I searched around the found alternative way of doing the same thing.
Here is what I found :

bgexec :  Tcl/[exec ...&], Tcl / [open | ...]

busy

http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl-examples.html#busy

bltdebug : TclX / cmdtrace , TclX / profile

barchart, graph :
Tklib / Plotchart

winop snap window photoName

In fact, I feel that BLT, which has been really useful in the past,
can be replaced
by other pure Tcl packages today. Am I wrong ?

Best regards,
Michaël
