A good, FREE TCL editor for Windows
Morgan
I have just recieved a Laptop with Win2K on it for work and have to
move away from Linux temporarily. I need a good TCL editor to continue
my work, preferably a FREE one, as I am not made of money. The
features I am looking for are:
+ TCL Syntax Highlighting.
+ Easy access to files recently edited.
+ Free, or very, very cheap.
I previously used Nedit, and have tried to use the Win32 port.
Unfortunately, I seem to be having problems with the X server, and
don't want to troubleshoot this if I don't have to. Recently I have
tried AlphaTK, but unfortunately many actions require a Meta Key, and
my laptop does not have a "Windows" key on it, so I miss out on many
features.
Thanks,
Morgan

Emacs, or vim. With the added bonus that you can, of course, use them
on Linux as well:->

I know that there is a Windows port of XEmacs lying around. I don't
remember the url anymore as it is more than a year ago when I
installed it, but google should be your friend.

Its on http://www.xemacs.org. Windows is now officially supported
by XEmacs 21.*
Note that the Tcl Mode is different (higher version number) from
the one distributed with GNU Emacs. Formatting your files with
indent-region will probably result in a different layout.

Let me go one step beyond this. I've co-workers who use Windows regularly.
What would be your recommendations for helping them get set up to do
reasonable development. I know about cygwin and I've followed the
discussions on editors. I obviously know about the compiled versions of
tcl and tk - as well as tclkit. What else should be considered 'essential'
for someone doing work on this platform?

If you've got a make+compiler+libs and an editor, what more could you
need? Well, there's groff, gnuplot, gs, cvs, ssh, and a decent diagram
drawing package (the only one I know of that has sufficient in-depth
all-round goodness for my taste is X11 only[*] so I can't advise there.)
Mind you, I find I can do useful stuff with just emacs and Tcl/Tk.

xfig I'm fast, productive and able to produce generalised asynchronous
circuit diagrams with a few thousand elements... ]

My Windows Survival Kit contains the CYGWIN toolkit,
GVIM ([1] an excellent vi implementation), CVS, Tera Term
([2], a terminal emulator with good telnet support),
and of course Tcl/Tk.

<www.textpad.com> free demo........does all except you keep getting a
nasty splash whenever you start it up. You'll need to do a separate download
of a file for the Tcl syntax highlighting, or you can do your own by following
well documented instructions.
XEmacs is also good and free. But it's too much like Unix. Of course many
will want that, but TextPad fits perfectly into the Windows screen.

It does do Tcl highlighting, as well as many, many other nice features.
It has been built for Win32, though it also requires cygwin, lesstif and an
X server for win32. But once it is running, it is very useful for a Tcl
scripter.
Sorry for the late post.

the source code is available at SourgeForge). It also has a very open
architecture which allows for downloadable plugin (over Internet). It
does Syntax Highlighting using XML templates (so they change be changed
or added to - in fact I wrote the TCL one). Has many advanced
programming tools buildin or available as a plugin. Works behind a
proxy firewall (I need this feature at work)...etc...
Check it out at http://jedit.sourceforge.net
The quote I liked best about this editor was "The only good thing to
ever be done in Java".
Jean-Christophe Berthon
tools it provides!
everything you ask is in this software:
-syntax hilyghting
-workspace (to manage file recently open)
-demos free, and shareware is cheap...
