KJN does the -container option for Tk frames and toplevels now do everything that TkSteal can do?

054. A draft paper titled "Kidnapping X Applications" is available as a part of the TkSteal tar file. It is authored by Sven Delmas and discusses the use of the TkSteal package to integrate existing X applications into a Tcl/Tk based program without having to make changes to the X application.
056. A WWW section for Hdrug , an environment to develop logic grammars for natural languages, is available at http://tyr.let.rug.nl/%7Evannoord/prolog-app/Hdrug/ . It uses ProTcl and TkSteal.

Description: Expect is a scripting language to interace with programs
such as FTP, telnet, fsck, and others that normally cannot be
automated from a shell script. Think of it as providing the means
to 'remote control' other programs. It is thus also good for
automating program exection on remote systems, and providing the
means to creating Tk interfaces on top of other, non-GUI, programs
V5.x is Tcl 7.x compatible. The version on
liv, while not from the author, is a set of source modified to
be used with tclX, BLT, and TkSteal. V5.28 (the tar.gz version)
is Tcl 8.0 compatible. This package will also build expectk, which
allows one to write Tk interfaces to the above types of programs.
The version at berkeley is a release of Expect for Windows NT,
which includes patches to Tcl to allow fileevent to work for pipes
and serial ports. It does not work for Windows 95. Check its web
page for info on the latest development snapshots.
The url for a version of Expect 5.25/Tcl 7.6 for Japanese Tcl is
mentioned above.
The slavedrv code mentioned above is an attempt to port expect to
recent versions of Windows. It is only test code and provides ''NO''
expect functionality.
Version 5.31 of Expect, compatible with Tcl 8.2, is also available from
the Sourceforge CVS repository.

[documented in book]
[where are old sources?]
BLT's "container" serves much (all?) of the function of TkSteal.
