<H3>Future Ideas</H3>
<UL>
<LI> Add encoding auto-conversion to exec commands
<LI> keep history file, also keep history of sourced files
<LI> <PRE>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
}</PRE>
<LI> Add socket level communication model
<LI> Enhance the true debugging capabilities - I'm looking at
tcl-debug and into what I can adopt from the tkInspect philosophy.
<LI> I'm taking ideas...
</UL>
<H3>Known Bugs/Quirks</H3>
<UL>
<LI> Command highlighting isn't perfect because I try to make it too
efficient.
<LI> All interpreters have the same current working directory. This is
a limitation of tcl.
<LI> You can't 'attach' on machines where <CODE>send</CODE> does not exist.
<A HREF="http://www.osf.org/~loverso/">John Loverso</A> has a comm.tcl
replacement.
In any case, you can still attach to internal interpreters and namespaces.
<LI> Need to clean up checkpointed states when the associated interp dies.
Works with slaves, but not foreign interps.
<LI> Can't identify non-Tcl or pre-Tk4 interpreters automagically...
<LI> You tell me...
