hugecombo

ulis a(Huge)ComboBox is a pure Tcl megawidget replacing the entry widget of Tk 8.4.

It augments the entry widget with a pick-list and its calling-button. This pick-list is the famous Hugelist which allows to choose among more than 1,000,000 items without time or memory penalty.

The search is based on the [string match] patterns.

LV The original author of this software (ulis) has died. Is anyone a significant enough user of the software to be willing to take on managing the documentation and source - or at least making the last version available?

AK Thanks to Kroc who pulled as much as possible from the wayback machine the wiki's half-bakery now contains archives of Maurice's software.
