Do you see similar errors on your port? No tcl errors at least, and no other tk errors, but enough different listbox and textDisp errors to alarm me. BTW, your pique at Ousterhout and company not adding dynamic lib support is very understandable. Maybe I should write a note complaing about this, seems we really should be supported. There's a lot of makefile support for it, which made it reasonably easy to add it. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
