Nope.  The -display argument is a feature of Xlib, not Tk, so it isn't
available in win32 ports of Tk.

Correct.

If you want -display to work on Windows you still have the option of
building the Xlib version of Tk in Cygwin, then running on a remote X
server.  But I suspect that's not what you were after.

Your suspicion is not correct :-)

That is what I think I need. Do you know how to build Xlib version of 
Tk under Cygwin?
Thanks

I haven't done it.  But it shouldn't be hard.  I'd probably start with
the XFree86 package ( http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/xfree/ ) and
attempt to build Tk from sources under Cygwin.

Hello all,

the -display option does not work with tk based applications e.g.
cygwish80.exe (cygwin B20).
Is there any possibility to bring -display option to work?
It seems that cygwin's tk is compiled from tk8.0.x/win (not unix) 
source and that why it interacts directly with Win32. Am I right?

Thanks
Pavel Kudrna.
