I will be annoying in the same way as any upgrade of Tk. The installed header (/usr/local/include/tk.h) is always that of the latest version and may or may not work with a random Tk extension. The same holds for /usr/include/tcl.h; we're just lucky enough not to have any programs in the ports which depend on tcl-7.6/tk4.2 (Tix does work with these versions). I do realize that this is somewhat controversial. > but now that it's done...). Let's see how long the ports dictator keeps those changes, if the demonstrations continue. ;-) tg
