We're using Tcl/Tk as part of our modernization for the National Weather Service and it blows the wheels off of OI (sorry, Warner) and competes easily with Motif. I've developed complex user interfaces with it for FreeBSD and they work amazingly fast. Is there an easy way to get a copy of this "pib" so I can try it out and examine it? I'd wager more than anything else it's a problem in the implementation rather than in Tcl/Tk itself. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
