Lutz, what happened to newlisp-tk? Was it similar to tkinter in Python? Did the wrapper code stop working?

[Lutz]

The Tcl/Tk based newLISP GUI in was abandoned in version 9.1.9 in 2007 when the Java based Guiserver was introduced. Since then some minor changes where necessary to adapt to changes in the newLISP API. HPW from http://hpwsoft.de made some necessary changes to the newlisp-tk script for subsequent versions of newLISP. Not sure if he still maintains a working version.

Hello,

My version from 2011 was posted here:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3902&p=19367&hilit=newlisptk.zip#p19367

However I still run a version with the current newlisp version but build not with freewrap as the 2011 version,
instead I use the TCL basekit 8.5.14 from Active State in 2015.

When I remember right there were some problem wtih the browser/edit and debugger subwindows.
Runs the demo.lsp fine.

HPW, thank you. I never used newlisp-tk back when it was maintained. Can you explain how it works? Is it an exe that combines tcl/tk and newlisp into one binary, and then tcl/tk shows up as a "tk" or "tcl" function that you send strings to? What is involved in updating it? I'd like to use it on Linux and Mac OSX also. I think. Is the demo.lsp available somewhere?

Hello,

I updated the zip with the demo-files and the tcl-editor file.
I also forgot to mention that you will need a TclTK install and the Bwidget toolset for TK to build/wrap your own package. (I have not tested the newest TClTk versions)
