Future Ideas

• Add encoding auto-conversion to exec commands
• keep history file, also keep history of sourced files

• set mimetype(extension,au) "audio/u-law"
  set mimetype(extension,wav) "audio/wave"
  set mimetype(extension,mid) "audio/midi"
  /etc/magic
  proc run {file} {
      global mimetype
  
      if {[file executable $file]} {
          exec $file
          return
      }
  
      catch {set mimetype $mimetype(extension,[file extension $file])}
  
      if {![info exists mimetype]} {
          set mimetype $mimetype(magic,[exec /bin/file $file])
      }
  
      exec $mimetype(application,$mimetype) $file
  }

• Add socket level communication model
• Enhance the true debugging capabilities - I'm looking at tcl-debug and into what I can adopt from the tkInspect philosophy.
• I'm taking ideas...

Known Bugs/Quirks

• Command highlighting isn't perfect because I try to make it too efficient.
• All interpreters have the same current working directory. This is a limitation of tcl.
• You can't 'attach' on machines where send does not exist. John Loverso has a comm.tcl replacement. In any case, you can still attach to internal interpreters and namespaces.
• Need to clean up checkpointed states when the associated interp dies. Works with slaves, but not foreign interps.
• Can't identify non-Tcl or pre-Tk4 interpreters automagically...
• You tell me...
