Thank you, I didn't realize one could get Delphi for free!  It looks like a very
nice RAD tool for Windows (whether or not it turns out to be the right thing for
this project).

It's a form of Pascal, right?  I coded in Pascal awhile in '91-2 and had a hard
time adapting to its wordy syntax (I've programmed in C since 1981).  Also, my
ultimate goal is to create something that people can use under multiple OSs,
including Linux (which I don't own) and Macintosh (which I do have but for which
CHEST has apparently not been compiled).  Tcl/Tk seems like a good way to go to
achieve that ultimate goal.
