There exists a distribution of everyting integrated, but I thought it would be silly to download a tarball of everything when presumably you would allready have all of the individual tar files. I work with the one of the primary authors of tclX, so its a matter of me doing it not the maintainers. This will of course all have to wait until we get a chance to integrate the latest tcl and tk distributions into the neosoft release. So if there is an intrest I will do it, otherwise, I'll just make it available on a per-request basis and in a single tarball format... Its just a matter of do your just want to have 2 interpreters (one X one text) or fiddle with a bunch of them depending on what application want to do... I think alot of people are missing out on the power of the tcl/tk/andfriends because they are all split up. Scott
