There was a significant effort a long time ago that still exists as drivers/tkwin.c and under bindings/tk-x-plat. I never tried it tho, and it remains only around for reference. It's also strange that there are still clearly some X calls in there, like XDrawLines(), but maybe TK-no-X has some limited X function emulation built in.. I have no idea. -- Maurice LeBrun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
