The Tcl WINdows Extension project is intended to provide direct and high level access to Windows NT APIs (note 'NT', not Win32 - there is no intention of supporting Win95/98/ME). The initial focus will be on providing access to API functions related to 'system administration programming', for example, managing services, performance data, security and access control, ADSI etc. Planned implementation strategy is to use a combination of direct access using [Swig] where appropriate and COM interfaces using the [tcom] extension. Documentation will be in the format used by [doctools].
