ANNOUNCE: TkCon v0.51 (beta) - Enhanced Tk Console

[Jeffrey Hobbs]

WHAT: [beta release] Enhanced Tk Console v0.51 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)

WHY: TkCon is a replacement for the standard console that comes with Tk
(on Windows/Mac, but also works on Unix) written entirely in tcl/tk. The
console itself provides many more features than the standard console. tkCon
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, giving Unix
users the GUI console provided by default in the Mac and Windows Tk.

UPDATE FROM v0.40: Since the last announcement, TkCon has undergone a great
deal of refinement with several new features added. Read the changes file
or HTML doc for more info.

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
