TCL/TK and most tools (Visual TCL > e.g.) are freeware. Wow. You sure didn't try real hard to find "Disadvantages". :-) Is it still limited to compatability with only one or two compilers? I seem to remember that being a problem. Lack of available tech support could be an issue for some. There *are* some incompatabilities between the different versions of TCL (I'm not so sure about TK). That being said, I personally consider TASH one of the most promising technologies for writing truly portable code in Ada. Its a shame it isn't being worked on more vigorously. -- T.E.D. -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum
