Tyler The native Tcl DLL filename is the same as that of the Cygwin Tcl DLL. In my opinion, the Cygwin Tcl/Tk package should use a different DLL name such as cygtcl84.dll. I will look into the possibility of at least warning users about this problem as you suggest. Of course, you can arrange for the Cygwin /bin directory to be ahead of C:\Tcl\bin in your PATH when you invoke the eCos Configuration Tool, but it will not be possible to use an application which requires the ActiveTcl tcl84.dll at the same time as a tool which requires the Cygwin tcl84.dll.

The DLL is named tcl84.dll and is located under the C:\Tcl\bin folder. Alternatively, I notice that they also set a TCLHOME environment variable, which points to the root of the install. Or, in the Registry, there is an HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ActiveTclScript key, which may be scanned for the install location.
