- Has anyone produced patches to incorporate tk/tcl into emacs or epoch?
- I looked in the FAQ and docs, but couldn't find a reference.
- I wrote a emacs widget that makes emacs a Tk widget. You can send
- emacs-lisp code to emacs (from Tcl), and send Tcl code to Tcl (from
- emacs). Perhaps this may help you. I think merging Tcl directly with
- emacs (linking it with Tcl) will not work, as the "extension" language
- of emacs is emacs-lisp, and having two extension languages for one
- program will lead into trouble (not only conceptual, but also for the
- implementation :-). If you want to take a look at the widget, it is
- named TkEmacs, and can be found on barkley.

- P.S. the widget was not written by me alone. The emacs-lisp part was
- written by Juergen Nickelsen.
