LV: Wow - I like several of the things I see here.

I have a question for you. The changes you made in Tcl/Tk 8.5 - have patches for these changes been submited to http://tcl.sf.net/ ? I would love to see Wize in a position to make use of the latest releases of Tcl/Tk.

PCM: Sorry, no patches submitted yet. All efforts are being concentrated on producing a unified, seamless environment.

JHJL Seconded! I am very impressed and would dearly love to use Blt under the latest 8.5. Any chance of a Blt for 8.5 dll :) Thanks for making Wize available.

You can just checkout blt from wize CVS and build it. However, the tiling for Tk won't work as it requires patching Tk.

As of March 2, 2010, Wize is based on Tcl 8.5a5. Are there any plans to bring Wize up to Tcl 8.6beta?

PCM: Wize 3.0, but that won't be for a while yet.

SEH: Also, I couldn't find an overall license statement for the author's original code. What license is the original parts of the package released under?
