Works on Windows
BTW, in case anyone is interested, this program DOES work on Windows (with Tcl/Tk installation), but right now it has a few rough edges, since I am not Windows expert enough to get all the right ifdefs in. A binary compiled with VC++ 6.0 and a suitable makefile comes with it, but I haven't been able to test it with the various 16-bit font-handling frameworks available on different Windows versions. Contributions and assistance are welcome. It should work as well on the Macintosh, but I haven't had access to a development machine to make the necessary tweaks...
