[ltk-user] Cross platform distribution?

[Joshua Kordani]

Thanks for the code example.  My concept application that I have in mind 
is like a mini google earth (no 3d), allowing the user to display a map 
of an area and view and place objects on the map given real world 
coordinates.
Given the existence of AndroWish (a port of tcl/tk for android), I'd 
also start exploring using lisp and that for android gui development.
