LTK does it for TCL. It could be interesting to share code between these projects. Some Gardeners are already championning a SLIMPL project, based on SWANK to interface with Perl. Then, with the CL-SLIME of climacs, you can drive from Common Lisp any swank-enabled language, be it CL, scheme, TCL, Perl, Ruby, Python, etc... -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ The rule for today: Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
