Actually, I posted similar information when you first mentioned doing a Chest GUI in TCL, but I believe it got lost in the deluge of posts concerning one or another of the more active discussions here. I also took a brief look at doing it myself, but haven't had much spare time recently to sift through the Scid source and piece it together. I'll be happy to contribute what I can to your efforts though -- beta testing and such.
