I can get around in Tcl, sort of, if stumbling around is
getting around<g>.  I'm trying to use something that is:
 - free/cheap
 - easy to use (pretty, people seem to prefer pretty
   interfaces over non-pretty interfaces)
 - works without us having to write it

A colleague and I were talking about the choices and he
asked why we didn't develop something like this in Access.
I pointed out that means we would have to write it,
maintain it, etc.  People have already crossed that bridge
and built a really nice one, lets use that one instead.

I don't what features Gnats 1.113 has, I wonder how 3.999 or
4.0 is.
