Incant Description

Incant is a Tcl/Tk based dictionary client package which includes both command line and GUI versions. Incant is a Tcl/Tk based dictionary client package which includes both GUI and command-line versions.Here are some key features of "Incant":· dictionary lookups with fallback to pattern matching if a word is not found · autoloading and selection menu of all dictionaries available on the remote host · command-line and GUI client versions · forward/back browsing buttons with infinite length · user definable colors and host/port · browsing of dictionary entries · link highlighting · term or single-word-of-term link lookups · support for multiple-word lookups, such as "bump off" · graceful logoff, and semi-graceful error handlingProxy Support:· Regular and SOCKS supported. Untested. Caveats:· Most protocol handling is rather blanketed... Specifically, generic error codes will pop up a wonderfully raw dialog with the server's message. Only a few codes are explicitly handled. There are no plans to change this. · All patches/comments/bug reports cheerfully accepted (but not near finals week). · There is an annoying bug which causes "random" newlines to be inserted into definitions. This is based in a TCL/TK sockets handling problem, and will never be fixed. Fortunately, it is only aesthetic, and not terribly annoying.Requirements:· Tcl/Tk (tested with 8.0
