You can find the manual for CVS at http://www.gnu.org/manual/cvs-1.9/cvs.html . You'll need to restore a copy of the "old" tcl, tk, tix, itcl. libgui packages from sources.redhat.com. It looks like the Tcl8.3 import was tagged TCL_8_3, but they did not tag the repository before they did this, so you just need to check out some date in early-mid 2001. You can get CVS to checkout/update a copy of this version of tcl, tk, tix, itcl, and libgui. (To check these out, 'cvs co -D 07/01/2001 naked-tcl, naked-tk, naked-tix naked-itcl naked-libgui', assuming you've got CVSROOT appropriately set. See the section on checkouts in the CVS manual.) One you have this, you've got to try to get it all built. Run configure and try to build it. Then address any problems that show up. It won't be easy, but it should be doable. Good luck, Keith
