I was hoping to have an interface to my program which would be
partable from Windows to X.  I was wanting to use the lisp2wish
code on X in order to have a windowing interface.  That works fine
on X with many different lisp implementations.

I have Tcl/Tk for Win NT.  But lisp2wish does not like it.
I have fiddled with the code and put in some #+aclnt (I think that was the
feature which distinguished it) and win:winexec ... but the problem does not
seem very simple.  It seems that Tcl/Tk on Windows does not send standard
output to the shell which called it.  It sets up its own console.

Anyway, if you've tried to get this to work, you know what I'm talking about
and I would like to hear how you did it.

Has anyone solved similar problems?  Sorry if this is obvious to Windows
programmers.

Thanks.
