What: MegaWidget package
 Where: http://www.purl.org/net/hobbs/tcl/script/widget/
         ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/nightly-cvs/
 Description: Tk 8.x megawidget capability.
        While tested thru Tk 8.0b2, some problems still remained
        under Windows with Tk 8.
        Megawidgets included in this package are combobox, console,
        hierarchy list display, progressbar, tabnotebook, validating
        entry widget, and scrolledtext.  Also, support for balloon help
        and paned window management are included.
        The latest CVS snapshot can be found in the widget-*tar.gz file
        at the ftp site above.

''[escargo] 18 Mar 2003'' - I downloaded this package and tried '''TOUR.tcl'''.
Some parts worked and other parts did not seem to work (just absent behavior,
no errors were thrown).  Has anybody tried this package with Tk 8.4?

(I'm trying to compare some different tabnotebook implementations, and this
page came up when I searched for "tabnotebook*" on the Wiki.)

It looks like at least the license needs to be updated....

[JH] - that is an old link.  You will find an updated version in cvs as part of the [tcllib] SF project, as a separate module named ''widget''.  It is not in tcllib itself, just next to it in development space.

''[escargo] 10 Nov 2003'' - I found it, but it seems like an amazing number of
hoops to jump through. Shouldn't there be a more accessible way to make accessible
code that is ''not in tcllib itself, just next to it in development space''
(even if it's only in an ''as-is'' archive)?
