Intent to package: tkcon
WHAT: Enhanced Tk Console for all Tk platforms
WHERE: http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/tcl/script/tkcon/
ftp://ftp.cs.uoregon.edu/pub/tcl/contrib/
REQUIREMENTS: Tcl 7.6 / Tk 4.2 (as least the stable versions)
TkCon is all Tcl/Tk code, no compiling required
TkCon is a replacement for the standard console that comes with Tk (on
Windows/Mac, but also works on Unix). TkCon provides many more features
than the standard console and 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 and to give Unix users the GUI console provided
by default in the Mac and Windows Tk.
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
The program is under a license similar to the one of Tcl with the
following addition:
This software is also falls under the bourbon_ware clause:
Should you find this software useful in your daily work, you should feel
obliged to take the author out for a drink if the opportunity presents
itself. The user may feel exempt from this clause if they are below
drinking age or think the author has already partaken of too many drinks.
Is this a problem regarding to DFSG? I don't think so...
Tschoeeee
