User's Guide to the Exec Dialog

The Exec Dialog in Tycho provides a dialog window that can execute a process in a user specified directory and display the results.

In Tycho0.1.1, the Exec Dialog uses non-blocking I/O, which is not supported under Windows. The Exec Dialog also will not work under the Macintosh. Consult the tcl open man page for more information.
