Re: [Flashforth-devel] FF5.0 shell

[Peter J. <pe...@me...>]

Attached is an alternative shell written in Tcl and based on the Tk text 
widget.
Although the code is a bit longer than Mikael's Python shell, it does 
come with
a GUI and might be a bit simpler for beginners.

It seems to be fine on my Linux machine but could do with some exercise
on a Microsoft-Windows machine and/or Mac.  If all is good, it can be 
added to
the FlashForth distribution.

Regards,
Peter J.
