lol.  (that sounds almost like .. allergic)

well I can't "speak" C++ so really cannot comment.  as component in a C program
though, Tcl (and Tk) are pretty straightforward wrt using.  there are of course
"problems", like (n)curses and Tcl wrangling over who controls the std* streams,
otoh, Tk (with Tcl, Perl, whatever) runs on all platforms.  (I'd love to know
though what makes it "monsterous").


regards, jr.
