If you are going to write your application as an exercise in learning Tcl/Tk, take a look at the source code for Shane Hudson's Scid (scid.sourceforge.net), especially the "analysis.tcl" file. Scid uses a similar method to communicate with Winboard engines for displaying engine analysis of positions -- spawning the engine in a separate process , sending game information to the engine, and then displaying the thinking output of the engine -- in a Tk GUI. In fact, it might be something that could be added to Scid fairly easily. If Shane happens to read this thread (or someone brings it to his attention), I wouldn't be surprised to see this functionality added to a future release of Scid.
