Tcl-based editor.  Runs on Windows, Unix and MacOS, using Tcl/Tk 8.1.1 or newer.  Maintained by [Vince Darley].
 
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.

'''Comments:'''

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]
