I just always forget that the Tcl folks are brain-dead when it comes to installing software. They put everything in LIBDIR, and we open source gurus (cough, cough) put shared text files into DATADIR. > If someone wants to inform me of a better way to do this then I'm open > for suggestions.

Could you add a little comment about the change so that the next time we go to upgrade tcl we'll have a little more background on why the change is made? [Having tried to do an upgrade not too long ago, it can be frustrating to see a local change and not be able to figure out why it is needed or if it is needed any longer.] I've heard speculation that tcl8.4.1 is more cygwin-friendly... Martin was working on something, but I guess he wants to do it all by himself? Keith
