Right. OK got it.

That's probably what is causing problems with my tcl 8.4.4 port. It
compiled, but just hangs :-(

The point is this:
I have the X11 libraries working (due to a patch from someone else) and am
VERY interested in getting the latest Tk Wish running under DOS (for
PythonD, of course :-). The last successful DOS TkWish port was 7.x using
that ancient Desqview interface (R.I.P.), AFAIK.
