There is no such thing as a simple job.

There are several 'tricky' parts since I'm not a TK user. For example,
I have yet to figure out how to put an image in a window. Trivial things
like that take a while to figure out.

Yes, that is the package I'm using. Currently it uses facilities that
are not yet available in gcl so I'm using clisp. Either GCL will 
eventually support the defclass, etc or I'll rewrite ltk to stop
using defclass.

It works on linux and windows, runs on clisp, and lives in a separate
process so it hardly matters which lisp is used (that being the point).
