CK8.0 Curses Tcl Toolkit
     
 
 
 
Tcl Powered   Starting in late 1995 I ported the Tk toolkit (see www.tcl.tk) to character mode using XPG4 curses. I called this thing CK[48]\.[0-4]. Since then it was used in various projects with Tcl 7.[45] and Tcl 8.[0-4] on UN*X platforms.

The goal was to have a toolkit for alphanumeric terminals with Tk semantics. This was reached except for the canvas widget and embedded windows in text widgets. But: I gave up 100% Tk source code compatibility in favor of better terminal control (e.g. character attributes), for more information see the options(n) and curses(n) manual pages.

Since June 2004 support for Unicode/UTF-8 is provided when Tcl versions greater than 8.0 are used and the curses library has support for wide characters (ncurses 5.3 or better).
