is itkwish the same as cygwin80?

[Gene C. Ruzicka]

i recently ported some tcl scripts to cygwin. i discovered
that the cygwin rendition of wish is cygwish80, but when
i consulted the man page for that utility--to see if there are any
cygwin-related differences i should be aware of--i couldn't
find one, at least under the name cygwish80.  when i
did "apropos tcl" i found a man page for itkwish, which
sounds like it is the exact same thing as cygwish80, but
there doesn't seem to be an executable by that name.
is this correct? if so, may i suggest that the man pages,
or software, be revised accordingly to eliminate confusion?
i volunteer to do the documentation mods, if any are 
needed.

I have symlinks in /usr/local/bin for following apps:

itclsh -> /bin/cygitclsh30.exe
itkwish -> /bin/cygitkwish30.exe
tclsh -> /bin/cygtclsh80.exe
wish -> /bin/cygwish80.exe

I am not quite sure about the real state of this port, since IIRC it is used
basically for the gdb front end, does not have full Cygwin path support and
you will not find it as separate package. Additionally this version is also
somewhat outdated. OTOH I had no problems to run simple sample applications
with this version, so you may try yourself. Search the list, if you need a
newer port, there was lately some effort done and IIRC somebody managed to
port a newer version.

Regards,
Jörg
