Does that mean I can't expect my program to work in other machines unless I attach a copy of the DLL file as well? eh, nasty situation.... >Why not stick with Tcl/Tk? It's available for Win32 (even Win32s). I know that, the thing is: Tcl/Tk is usually installed in current UNIX system, a de facto standard thing to do. But it's not that common for people in WinTel world to have a copy of Tcl/Tk floating around in their hard drive. The program I wrote will finally be available for free Internet Download, I couldn't just say:"Hey, here is the link, grab Tcl/Tk and install it first in order to run my program!". People don't have that much patience, I figure. yours Leiming -- Leiming Qian: lqian AT uiuc DOT edu | Second Year Research Assistant Digital Signal Processing Group | Under Professor Douglas. L.
