ANNOUNCING STk 1.00
-------------------
STk is a graphical package which rely on Tk and the Scheme programming
language. Concretely it can be seen as the J. Ousterhout's Tk package where
the Tcl language has been replaced by Scheme.
Features of STk
---------------
* All the commands defined by the Tk toolkit are available to the STk
interpreter (tk commands are seen as a special type of objects by the
interpreter).
* Callback are expressed in Scheme
* Tk variables (such are -textvariable) are reflected back into Scheme
as Scheme variables.
* File images are possible (on SunOS 4.1.x only)
* (nearly) R4RS interpreter (Some number procedures are not implemented,
over-simplified call/cc, symbol case is significative). Next release would
be closer from R4RS
* Clos/Dylan syntax like OO extension. This extension is really SLOW and part
of it will be re-written in C
* A set of classes have been defined to manipulate Tk commands (menu, buttons,
scales, canvas, canvas items) as Scheme objects.
Machines
--------
STk runs on the following machines
- Sparc (SUNOS 4.1.x)
- Dec 5xxx (Ultrix 4.2)
If you port it on another Unix box, please let me know your diffs.
