We present here tksesh, a set of tool designed to help the creation of philological databases for the egyptologist. Tksesh includes a text editor and a flexible dictionnary. The goal of the system is to promote information sharing and searching.
The system we introduce here, called TKsesh, is a multi platform system (it works under windows 95, unix, and should work on macintoshes as well) built around a hieroglyphic editor (compatible with the manuel de codage), and a database engine.
We started working on it quite a long time ago, but at that time it was a rather peripherical work. Yet, it appeared that the system was potentially useful. Thus we decided to develop it further. What is presented here is a preliminary version of the software. We look forward for opinions and criticisms to improve it.
