S'''[http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php/Software Tc/Al-bphatk%|%Alphatk]'''
is a sharedware editor written in [Tcl] for C, C++, Tcl, Perl, LateX, HTML, CSS,
Python, Java, + 30 or so other languages. Runs on Windows, Unix, MacOS and
MacOS X, using Tcl/Tk 8.4 or newer. Current version of Alphatk is 8.3.3
(December 2004). Maintained by [Vince Darley].
** Attributes **
maintainer: [Vince Darley]
** Description **
Older versions of Alphatk work with Tcl/Tk 8.1.1 or newer.
Alphatk is available as a standalone executable on Windows and [MacOS X], or as
a cross-platform starkit.
Alphatk has had the ability to browse remote Wiki's (using the http package)
for quite some time. Recently, it added the ability to edit pages on those
Wiki's --- this means you are no longer limited by your browser's very poor
text editing frames. When you click on the 'edit' link, Alphatk opens up the
Wiki markup in a temporary window, and when you save the window, it is
http-posted back to the Wiki it came from! See [How to edit Wiki pages in
Alphatk] for details. Similarly you can use Alphatk to edit TIPs, and ftp
sites remotely.

Constructive comments and criticism on Alphatk are much appreciated. But please say what platform/window manager you are running on!

* On Windows 2000 (and, I'd bet, other flavors as well), Alphatk assumes that its menu bar can extend the full width of the screen. Bear in mind that the Windows "start bar" can be docked on any of the four sides of the screen; I usually have it going up and down the right hand side, so as to maximize vertical space. Alphatk should play nicely with this, and it doesn't; the right hand end of the menu bar is under the start bar. - [WHD]
''Hmm, that's interesting -- I don't know of any way to find out the
practically-usable area of desktop space automatically (i.e. that which the OS
hasn't grabbed for its own uses), but Alphatk does contain the ability to allow
you to specify the menu bar size. Click on the Alphatk icon, and at the bottom
of the system menu you will see 'resize', which allows you then to resize the
menubar. Once the menubar is the size you want, go back to the menu and select
'fix size' and Alphatk will always remember that setting. Of course it would
be nice to be able to do this automatically!''
