searchbox is a widget, written entirely in Tcl, that provides several Emacs
key bindings and incremental, exact and regular expression searching for Tk
text widgets.  As a demonstration of how to connect the searchbox to
application code, I have written sb.  Using a searchbox, sb is able to
provide most of the functionality of xless in a just over two hundred
lines.  (Unobviously, but as in Emacs, C-s initiates incremental searching
in sb; you can change this in your use of searchbox.)  For other
applications that uses searchbox, refer to TkMan 1.5 and tkInfo 0.6.

To build sb, edit the Makefile appropriately and type `make'.  To install
it, type `make install'.  If sb is given a file name as a command line
argument, that file is read and displayed; otherwise, sb reads from stdin.

searchbox and sb require Tcl 7.0/Tk 3.3.
