BWidget is a Tcl/Tk script-only set of megawidgets designed to provide the developer additional tools.
It is currently being maintained as a part of the tcllib http://tcllib.sf.net/ source code repository. BWidget HTML documentation can be found at http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/BWman/contents.html , as well on freshmeat (but that had out of date info there. aku asked to transfer the freshmeat entry to himself and updated the entry to match the current release, available on sf.net.)
Report bugs and feature enhancements at the sf.net site.
escargo 31 Jul 2003 - But isn't BWidget up to 1.6?
aku has been at the tcl'2003 conference - perhaps once he recovers he will update things.
jt - BWidget 1.8 was released 2006-10-11.

So, has BWidget been enhanced to take advantage of Ttk when available?
Has there really not been a BWidget release since 2006?
HaO Bugfix release in 2009-07-24 - see [L1 ]. JOB is currently working on a ttk-enabled version.
Has anyone converted the BWidget html reference pages into either doctools or nroff -man formats?
HaO AFAIK - nobody, sorry.
JOB BWidget revitalization: I modifiled the BWidget toolkit to take advantage of ttk. What I basically did, was an attempt to migrate an outdated but modified BW code found in the install-jammer application with a current CVS version. In the next weeks I am going to test this package which I tagged to 1.9 (my guess). What steps are required to upgrade the sourgeforge project files? You can download from here (for the moment): [L2 ] Comments are welcome!
