DONE (revision 11841). That revision fixes the licensing issue. Just before committing those changes I tried to find how to access this file from one of our Tk examples but could find nothing in the GUI. I notice an "about" menu item in plserver.tcl, but it appears not to display for some reason (at least when I run "make test_tk_plgrid" in the build tree with -DBUILD_TEST=ON). I hope somebody can fix that or tell me how to gain access to the "about.tcl" language from the plserver GUI to make sure the result looks OK in that context. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
