Hi again, Arjen: I am still interested in how the test_tcl_standard_examples works on your platforms, but sorry for the noise concerning the -np option. Here is the correct story. The -np problem occurs for example 20, not example 21. So I fixed that by invoking plspause 0 after the 20th example in examples/tcl/standard_examples(.in). This fix greatly reduces the keystrokes necessary to get through all the interactive examples run by the test_tcl_standard_examples target. Also, I reinstated (revision 11078) example 21 because there were no ill effects on example 22 when using -dev xwin. _After_ "make test_tcl_standard_examples" (which takes care of all dependencies) you can run the grouped tcl examples for any device as follows: make ps #(use whatever device driver you want to check). cd examples/tcl ./standard_examples -dev psc -o test.ps etc. Which devices cause issues with example 22 on your platform(s)? Finally, I am still concerned with the lack of -np functionality in the Tk grouped examples which are run by examples/tk/standard_examples(.in). Currently the user must use lots of keystrokes to get through all the examples associated with that target. So I locally tried a "plspause 0" fix there (e.g., .plw.plwin cmd plspause 0 either before or after "$demo .plw.plwin" in examples/tk/tkdemos.tcl), but nothing worked. Can you advise on the proper way to automatically run plspause 0 _before_ each example in tkdemos.tcl? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
