Tk authors have been warned that existing * apps *will* break and that they should be rewritten for 4.0. The * changes to Tcl are more minor. Maybe I didn't include enough context, I thought I iterated it enough already. Anyway, I know Tk-4.0 is incompatible with Tk-3.6, that wasn't the question, and it's pretty obvious looking at the version numbers. :) Will the "more minor" changes in Tcl-7.4 break Tcl-7.3 scripts? Someone please answer this with authority, why is it so hard to get an answer to a simple question? ;) Satoshi
