It's a different story with my tk4.0 scripts, though. Ok, seems like it's too dangerous to lose tcl-7.3, and we definitely can't erase tk-3.6. Now, what should we do? tk-4.0 should probably go in to a new directory "tk4", should we do the same thing for "tcl74"? Ugh.... Why didn't they increase the *major* version number anyway, if they are backward incompatible.... :< Satoshi
