And what's going to happen when tcl/tk gets updated and are incompatible with the previous version again? * I think that the tk port should set the link and "wish" * should default to whichever version of Tk I last installed. That's good for interactive use but if ports like tkirc are allowed to just call wish "wish", then we are asking for major trouble. If you can think of a way to *force* porters and committer to always use "wishX.Y" instead of "wish" as their interpreters, then I agree about tk ports installing the link. Satoshi
