Hi Bill, 

I guess this is a nonanswer, but it might qualify as a thought.  I've never
played with TCL.  

What about the duct tape of the internet?  Perl has Tk and DBD modules.  I
should think between them you could do anything you can with TCL, and since
DBD is a grown-up database interface with support right here on your
friendly ML, you'd be halfway home.  

Or maybe you'll come up with something more interesting....

Regards,
