Who do you think releases tcl/tk? I don't know why you'd think that I don't know what's going on here. This was basically a *generic* observation regardless. tcl/tk changes the DLL name with every release. I find that strange. Regardless, it's very obvious that, setup comments notwithstanding, tk is used by python. I don't like breaking python every time I release a new version of tcl/tk since I don't like making work for Jason. I guess that, somehow, Jason has found a chink in my otherwise mean demeanor. cgf -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
