Version 5 of Tutorials for the Tcl/Tk newbie on interacting with Fortran applications that expect input/output from the user

Updated 2002-09-06 15:34:55

While we're waiting for someone to synthesize a coherent essay on the topic above, here's valuable reading to warm us all up to the topic:

• Combining Fortran and Tcl in one program - Arjen Markus promises to make this page!
• Critcl
• Expect for Windows--or maybe just Expect
• Fortran
• Keep a GUI alive during a long calculation [advanced topic]
• Managing Fortran programs
• exec and related essays
• [tutorials]
• [... much more ...]

[Sort the order of the stuff above.]

Why privilege FORTRAN? That is, why wouldn't this have been a better page, titled "... on interacting with applications written in other languages ..."? language? Does FORTRAN do something weird with user input? Or is what is really being requested a tutorial on how to write Tcl/tk applications that interact with external programs that request character based user interaction?]
