Re: [MACTCL] more on Tk Cocoa updates

Actually, Tk-Carbon is a good alternative at the moment, maybe the best one.  Relative to Tk-Cocoa, it lacks a couple of capabilities like input method support, but drawing and event handling is solid.  Both 8.5 and 8.6 can be built with it.

I don't mean to tread on anyones toes when I say that, the port is amazing, looks like very high quality code to me and genuinely useful if the app isn't too complex and happens to avoid the event related issues.
