Re: [Chicken-users] PS-tk documentation missing?
I am the maintainer of PS/Tk. The official version is on SourceForge, and includes the code necessary to run in Chicken; in fact, Chicken was the first Scheme implementation for which PS/Tk was originally developed. I believe Chicken provides a customized version, but am not familiar with the details of how it is loaded or what changes it makes from the official version.

IIRC, ps/tk has a few extensions. cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

It would be nice to know which one is most likely to be supported in the future or to converge on just one tk interface for Chicken. You don't have the manyargs feature (arm system?), so a generic use of apply with large argument lists may exceed the argument limit. PS/tk is built on the original code developed by Wolf-Dieter Busch (which in turn is based on code by Sven Hartrumpf). PS/tk is newer, but tk is better adapted for chicken. cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
