Blox Tcl/Tk GUI

smalltalk-3.2.91/packages/blox/tk/BloxTK.c

Anyone here use the Blox -based class browser instead of the Gtk -based brow=
ser?

I use an AMD64 PC with Debian bullseye from Raspberry Pi.

(I have been using PrtHier.st as a Textual User Interface class hierarchy =E2=
=80=9Cbrowser=E2=80=9D. Led me to consider an NCurses -based browser as an a=
lternative.)

Recently, I installed Tcl/Tk 8.6 to test whether Gnu Smalltalk=E2=80=99s Blo=
x (8.4.0) Graphical User Interface works (I haven=E2=80=99t tested it yet).

First, I wanted to see what a Tk app looks like, so I installed TkDesk packa=
ge via Debian as an example. Very impressive workspace environment, and from=
 2004.

Plus there is a Tk canvas widget package via Debian that renders to OpenGL (=
I haven=E2=80=99t tested it yet).

Tcl/Tk 9.0 beta is actively developing. Using this stable GUI toolkit as the=
 primary target instead of updating Gtk from 2 to 4 might be the way forward=
.
