Status Update
I haven't abandoned the project. I've just been very busy the past 9 months or so. Now, I'm looking for an east coast job and house... Needless to say, that will continue to keep me occupied with things other than psDooM. :-(.
On a brighter note, I have completed the additions to the tcl/tk frontend as well as updated the codebase to XDoom-20001001. I will create a new release once I have updated the docs and website.

Status Update
1) The weather has been beautiful (it's summer)
2) I'm extra busy with my day job
3) Other things in Real Life(tm)
The above reasons are why I haven't been keeping up on psDooM development recently. :-)
I also struggled with TCL/Tk for a bit and got frustrated. I decided to take a break, lest I get (more) burnt out and completely abandon the project.
In the meantime, I picked up "TCL/Tk in a Nutshell" at the library and looked at it. Good thing I didn't buy it. It's just a bunch of printed out, glorified manpages. Plus, it has about 4 sections on TCL and Tk; the rest are about other extensions to TCL I'd never heard of, and are probably not part of the 'standard' TCL/Tk install. Anyway, I'll eventually get back to the library and check out another book. Maybe I'll even code before I find another book, though I've decided to take out all the old code I made while floundering around and start the TCL backend from scratch again.
I have no idea when I'll get the TCL/Tk frontend to psDooM done. Real Life(tm) has several more things waiting in the wings for me.
Don't lose hope, the project is *not* dead. I'll release something when I'm good and ready. ;-)

Status Update
I'm currently working on the TCL/Tk based front-end to psDooM (ps-xdlaunch). A major psDooM release will probably happen after I finish it.
I've fought my battles with Tk and managed to get the psDooM-specific dialog looking pretty good. Now, all I have to do is get the TCL code behind the scenes to handle events. :-) Since I'm in the process of learning TCL/Tk by trial and error, don't expect this to progress very quickly.
If anyone knows of any good TCL/Tk references online, please post a note on this thread.

Status Update
Well, I have done more work on psDooM since the 'a' development patch, but haven't yet managed to package the 'b' patch. :-(
I have changed xdlaunch into ps-xdlaunch, adding a place to insert extra command line flags to pass to ps-xdoom as well as a popup text box that lists psDooM-specific options. I still have to create a more friendly way of specifying psDooM options, with checkboxes and the like.
I have also changed where the user config file and savedgames live, since the savedgames are incompatible with other ports. The new directory is ~/.psdoom, so be sure to copy .doomrc and .xdlaunchrc from ~/.xdoom (or ~/ if you're using an XDoom earlier than 03/05/2000) whenever I release the 'b' patch.
Additionaly, I added psDooM text strings to various places in the program, such as the X window title, resources, and the startup banner.
Expect an 'a' to 'b' development patch sometime before the end of next week.
