Hi all

One of my favorite tools when writing with tetex was texdoctk. It's only
drawback was (for me) the TK gui. I took a look at the perl-sources. The
program code was tightly bound to the gui-parts, but i tried my best to
decouple it:

I factored out "texdoc.pm" (perl-model) to encapsulate the
functionality, adapted texdoctk to that and wrote a GTK+-App which has
the same functionality as texdoctk but but looks a little nicer (at
least to me).

You can download it (and submit bugs etc) here:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/texdocgui

It depends on:
* libgtk2-gladexml-perl
* tetex

Just download, switch to the directory and start "gtexdoc"

Please let me know what you think of this.

TIA, Sebastian.

PS: If some perl-experts are around, i need help/advice on howto package
and distribute it best. Any other help is appreciated too, since I am
kind of a perl newbie. The code works, but it is very ugly :-)
