About Eskil

The first major application I wrote in Tcl/Tk was this tool (somewhere around 1997). Writing it is what made me learn and enjoy Tcl. (I already liked Tk but still found Tcl annoying at the time.)
I have used it a lot during the years and lately it has received enough polish to grant a public release.

Pronunciation: The E is short, like in "set", the rest is like "skill".
