PLEASE NOTE: This code is from 2001 and is posted here for reference only. At this time the code will work on debian with tcl8.5, Itcl 3, Itk 3, and Iwidgets 4. digfe README digfe is a free, GUI 'front end' for the DNS client program 'dig'. digfe strives to simplify the operation of 'dig' via a user friendly GUI interface presenting a functional layout of almost all of dig's many options. Query's can be saved or loaded for later reference. digfe supports virtually all of dig's many features and command line parameters. Probably the most notably lacking feature at this point is 'batch' or 'file' operation. This may be included in a later version if enough user demand is there. digfe was developed on Linux using Visual TCL 1.5.2 and should, therefore, run under any OS that supports tcl/tk including all versions of Linux/Unix, Windows, NT, 2000, etc. You do not need 'Visual Tcl' to run 'digfe' but you do need tcl/tk or, at a minimum, the tcl/tk interpreter, a.k.a. 'wish'. Other than tcl/tk, 'digfe' requires the package 'Itcl 3.0', package 'Itk 3.0', package 'Iwidgets 3.0', and the program 'dig' to be available on your system in the search path for executables. The 'Itcl' and 'Itk" packages are included in the standard install of most distros that include tcl/tk, e.g. RedHat. As for 'IWidgets', it is included with most distros that include tcl/tk but it isn't always part of the base installation, so you may have to *dig* a little to find it (pun intended), or you can always find it at http://www.scriptics.com home of tcl/tk. Follow the links to 'Itcl'. You can easily download the latest version of digfe via FTP from the following FTP directory: ftp://freud.concoctedlogic.com/pub/digfe Or you can get it from the digfe home page: http://www.concoctedlogic.com/digfe Jim Burrell jburrell@concoctedlogic.com
