[vince darley]

Tcl/Tk 8.1 or newer for Unix) from:

Win: ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/pub/alpha/tcl/alphatk/alphatk.exe

Alphatk is an extensible, cross-platform text editor, which uses
Tcl/Tk as a scripting language.

Alphatk's users fall into three main categories: (1) computer
programmers, (2) people who prepare documents in TeX or LaTeX, and (3)
web site authors. These categories are not exhaustive, but are
indicative of its diverse uses. The computer programmer benefits from
Alphatk's many computer language modes: C, C++, Fortran, Pascal, Java,
Perl, Tcl, etc. A scientist or mathematician benefits from the TeX
mode, with its many typing shortcuts and LaTeX templates, to prepare
papers for submission to scientific journals. Many graduate students
have used Alpha to typeset their dissertations. The web site author or
webmaster benefits from modes that simplify HTML encoding, the
construction of cascading style sheets, the coding of Java and
Javascript, etc.

Features include: syntax colouring (40+ modes), grep/search/replace/
unlimited undo/redo, code templates, code completion,
auto-indentation, etc. A complete feature list is available here:
