> TK is dead.

First, thanks everyone's help. Thanks your idea and suggestion.

I did "play" a little bit before with Tk ( with Tcl/Tk, and also Perl/Tk )
Well, if I have a lot of space time, I may like to "play" (try) other toolkit.
But I think, it is may-be good that you focus on one "good" toolkit.
Which can help you a lot, in many applications, in many situations.
( I may-be too greed, many situations may-be means :
many platform support, many languages support, free ... etc )

(But nothing is 100% perfect, some is esay to use, some is more portable ... etc)

It is really scare me now, about "Tk is dead".
Can you imagine you try learn one toolkit and no support for it in the future ?
Technologie always evolve, we have OpenGL, directX, ... etc who knows later.
And you know Tk, but is old Tk, and not more Tk support for new technologie ...
Mmmm... is it still a good choice to learn Tk ?
(Unless, you want learn the design of Tk and came out with new your own toolkit,
if not, is it good for the future to learn Tk ?
Mmm... may-be the Tk is stable now, it can resolve almost 90% of case ... )

Anyway. I will try continue play Tk and later FOX.

Thx.
