+ TreeButton GUI for Trees
+
+Put treebutton.py and treerunner.ico in the same folder as trees.py.
+The icon only works in Windoze.
+
+Requires Python 2.4 with Tkinter and Tix installed. These are now
+nominally standard parts of a Python distribution, but don't always
+appear in all Linux distros as of March 2006. E.g. Tix seems to be
+broken in Ubuntu 5.10, and absent from the default install of SUSE 10.0
+(but present if you select all the geek stuff). I had success with
+ActiveState python 2.4.10 on Ubuntu (installed GNU readline5.1 prior
+to that; dunno if that was essential)
+
+Freestanding Windows executables with installer may be found at:

+
+TreeButton can be made to interact reasonably well with the TeXnicCenter
+front-end for (La)TeX by changing the "%Wm" at the end of the command
+line specifications in the output profiles to "%bm" (base-name without
+extension of file being edited). Then you can have the .txp file
+loaded in the TXC window, push the TreeButton button to run Trees, and
+then build as usual in TXC. \ No newline at end of file
