Question : What is the best free GUI tool for Tcl/Tk development?

I need to develop a GUI that produces Tcl/TK code.  I started looking at Visual TCL, but the documentation is minimal.  I tried downloading SpecTcl, but the version didn't have installation instructions.  Any recommendations for a tool and documentation or tutorials for the recommended tool?  I'll ultimately need the  capability to send messages through TCP/IP.

Answer : What is the best free GUI tool for Tcl/Tk development?

Unfortunatly I just know of one other useful tool for Tcl/tk development it's tkDebugger or the like. AFAIKT the only other alternaative are Komodo http://activestate.com/komodo/
but you've to pay for it.

And ActiveTcl Pro Studio
but again you've to pay for it.

Howerver I'd think you can get along with VisualTcl quite far even without much docs. If you got a decent book about Tcl/Tk this might help more than docs for some IDE....

You may get a few better answers at com.lang.tcl.

The big problem with IDEs for skriping languages in general is the lack of decent IDEs, I'd argue it's because people are nto willing ot pay for it any longer. Most developers seem to be quite happy with Emacs or vi and command line tools... And so the state of affairs is not a good one. ....

But maybe you find something to your taste from
http://wiki.tcl.tk/998

I have not better idea, sorry
