Proxy Tk allows a Tcl program to provide a highly interactive web-browser user interface, without requiring the end
user to download additional software. It uses a thin client design, where a server-side Tcl application communicates
with a very small generic Java applet running in the browser, sending it commands to create and modify widgets,
and receiving events from the user. A Tk-like layer encapsulates the communication protocols to provide a familiar
programming paradigm, and allow easy porting of existing code.


Proxy Tk was presented at the [Seventh Annual Tcl/Tk Conference].

Proxy Tk was a closed source component of the [Teamwave] product offering.  Current status is unknown, although
there is some evidence that it remains in use at Sonexis [http://www.sonexis.com/], the company that acquired
Teamwave in December 2000.  See [http://www.markroseman.com/teamwave/] for details.
