We don't even have a default /usr/local/bin/wish in one of the ports. Makes it fairly difficult to write #!/usr/local/bin/wish scripts that are portable across systems. With Perl4 vs. 5, there's not much hickup. Most of the existing Perl4-only scripts should be convertible within a few minutes. What's the deal with Tcl and Tk here? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
