Rotated Tk Text?

Dear Sirs,

I need to rotate some rotated (vertical) text on a Tk canvas. Checking the Tk
archives I found a comment that this isn’t possible. Does anyone here have an
idea about this, or must I switch to a different GUI (which one? (Win)) just
because of such a little but important detail?
Thanks!

Cheers,
Ralf.

There are some posts by Slaven Rezic over in comp.lang.perl.tk that
address this issue. He even posted a module that does this, though
it’s X11 specific.
