tksh is shipped as part of the ksh93 package.  It is a merger of
tk graphics with ksh93.  However, tksh is based on tcl7.6, tk4.2 and it
hasn't been updated for several years.  It allows callbacks to be written
in either ksh93 or tcl.

There was another gui extension to ksh93 similar to dtksh that
people were using at AT&T several years ago.  I don't know what
happened to that one and whether it can be made open source or not.
