BTW, I'm still very well determined to make this happen... if/when time permits. Up to now, my time has been extremely limited. I brought it up to the state where I had both the Win32-GDI and X versions of Tk as separate DLLs and, when doing a "package require Tk", the proper version would be loaded based on the DISPLAY environment variable... However, the Win32-GDI version would not display anything and the X version had some minor issues which I can't recall at the moment... My guess is, it has to do with the fact that Tcl is built "the unix way" but the Win32-GDI Tk makes assumptions about features/quirks/behaviors it expects from a Win32 Tcl. IOW: Work is on the way... don't despair! Cheers for now, Sebastien
