     I downloaded tcl/tk 8 (for win32) and cast a cursory glance at it.
     
     1. They renamed tcl7/tk4 into tcl/tk 8 and made other cosmetic changes 
     to give an impression that you must use tcl if you use tk. They failed 
     to convince me though.
     
     2. It does *look* like it should be possible to implement any 
     language's interface to tk pretty easily - just define the functions 
     and link tk80.lib, or, better use tk80.dll. I might be wrong, of 
     course (and I would not dare to try to do it myself), but I don't see 
     any reason why CLISP won't be able to support tk immediately: just add 
     a package tk and put all the functions in tk80.dll there.
     
     I would appreciate if anyone could explain to me why I am wrong (if I 
     am!)
     
     Thanks.
