Comment (by cmbarton):
Replying to [ticket:12 neteler]:
> Clicking on 'About System' within the gis.m Help menu launches a new set
of gis.m windows instead of opening a tcl/tk window with system
parameters. The newly created gis manager toolbar says "Tk System
Information".

Is this function worth the trouble of trying to fix? It is very old,
heavily patched code. It returns the following information from within the
GRASS TclTk GUI, but I think better information could be had by utilities
common to all systems on which GRASS runs.
"Platform "
"Operating System "
"OS Version "
"Processor Type (arch) "
"User Name "
"Hostname "
"Tcl Version "
"Name of Executable "
"Tcl Version/Patchlevel "
"Full OS ID "
"Name of current Script "

Commonly referred to as GRASS, this is a Geographic Information System (GIS)
used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing,
graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is
currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as
by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.
