Tcl 7.5 / Tk 4.1 are now available for Macintosh and Windows platforms. Given time these implementations will improve to be equal in quality to native applications, and yet written using a cross-platform toolkit. Coupling this with Java would be a real winner. Is Perl/Tk available on non-Unix, non-X11 platforms? Regards, Steve Ball
