Plus it's the tcl that ships with cygwin 1 (you might >assume...) Also, I got B20 to run tkdiff out of the box. So... ??? What I'm saying is that "/utils/lib/tkcvs" will be interpreted as x:\utils\lib\tkcvs where x: is your current drive. You may be dubious but tcl/tk does not really support cygwin. What we have shipped is pretty much what you get when you build tcl/tk natively on Windows. The alternative is to rewrite tcl/tk to use Windows methods for updating the screen rather than X methods and no one has ever been ambitious enough to do this. It is regrettable but it is true. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
