http://www.du.edu/%7Emschwart/ctk8.0.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc5/
Description: This is a version of Tk which uses curses. Applications with
a modern GUI-ish interface can be created for character terminals.
CTk is a subset of Tk, being unable to do things like scaling
canvases, selection, send, active backgrounds, etc.
A version 4.2 is available at ccfadm.
The version by Mr. Schwartz, at du.edu, has been upgraded to
work with Tcl 8, but does not yet support Tk 8 features.
There are rpms at redhat which have been upgraded with patches
to seem to work with Tk 4.2.p12/Tcl 7.4p3.

What: [Tcl Fltk] binding
Where: http://pages.infinit.net/cclients
Description: Stubs based extension that implements Tcl bindings to the
widgets and dialogs of the Fast Light Toolkit, a GUI development
toolkit that runs on Unix, Windows, and a few other places.
This binding is nice because it can co-inside visually with a Tk
application, even though the commands and widgets are completely
distinct from Tk.

ftp://media.mit.edu/pub/WavesWorld/WW1.0B2SrcOnly.tar
Description: This is a strictly NeXTSTEP interface. One of the two palettes
included in this release is WWTCLWidgets one take on how to integrate
Tcl into the NeXTSTEP development environment.
The other palette makes use of the Tcl widget palette.
The other WavesWorld palettes, on
ftp://media.mit.edu/pub/WavesWorld/,
integrate Tcl into IB, complete with a suite of UI objects,
and a 3D modeling language called eve, which is basically Tcl with a
full RenderMan binding. The WWTCLWidgetsPalette includes a WWTCLInterp,
which is an objective-C wrapper around a Tcl interp.

[[... nexTk? ...]]
What: PortBox
Where: From the contact
Description: A Tcl 7.x interface to the XVT GUI toolbox. It is not a
complete encapsulation of XVT, though it may be close enough to
be useful. It is freely distributable software, even though
XVT is not. It was developed with the Macintosh's MPW 3.2+ and SCO
Motif on XVT v3.02. It has not been ported to Windows. PortBox
requires an ANSI C compiler. This is *NOT* a version of Tk for
the Macintosh or Windows.

What: wxTcl
Where: http://www.multimania.com/awaken
Description: The wx is a new GUI extension to Tcl, based on wxWindows and
wxGTK. It's intention is to provide a developer with an extension
able to provide a native look and feel, contemporary looking
programming constructs, AND still be able to operate within a normal
Tcl and Tk application! The extension is considered beta at this
time, but should exhibit the possibilities to the developer.
