Ah, must confess I didn't look too hard either - thanks for the links!

This doesn't look very much like the Tcl/Tk that grandfather used to do.

What I meant was that you probably need a proof-of-concept for D/Tk ?

I'll run the Tcl and Tk through my gc2d script, see how that works...
But all those custom macros (_ANSI_ARGS_, etc) might need some lovin'.
