| 42 | <I>This document is for those users who are trying to use TkCon with a |
|---|
| 43 | non-Tcl based Tk language (ie - SchemeTk, PerlTk, PythonTk...).</I> |
|---|
| 44 | <P> |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | TkCon requires <A HREF="http://tcl.activestate.com/">Tcl/Tk 8.0+</A> to |
|---|
| 47 | run. However, it can attach to any language with Tk4+ |
|---|
| 48 | embedded into it with the use of the Tk 'send' command. I have been able |
|---|
| 49 | to succesfully talk to SchemeTk-3.0 and Perl/Tk. When using TkCon attached |
|---|
| 50 | to these interpreters, you must remember to talk to the connected |
|---|
| 51 | interpreter in its language. |
|---|
| 52 | <P> |
|---|
| 53 | I welcome further comments from users of Tk-embedded languages on their |
|---|
| 54 | experiences or ideas. Of course, you can always try to port TkCon in full |
|---|
| 55 | to your language. I'd like to see the results from any such efforts. |

| 56 | <P> |

| 62 | Read the man page on Perl/Tk's send command. You have to define Tk::Receive |
|---|
| 63 | before it will work. |
