Re: [Chicken-users] PS-tk documentation missing?

[Phil Bewig]

I am the maintainer of PS/Tk.

The official version is on SourceForge, and includes the code necessary to run in Chicken; in fact, Chicken was the first Scheme implementation for which PS/Tk was originally developed.

I believe Chicken provides a customized version, but am not familiar with the details of how it is loaded or what changes it makes from the official version.

What differentiates the two projects? It would be nice to know which one is
most likely to be supported in the future or to converge on just one tk
interface for Chicken.
