You can download an older release which still uses Tcl/Tk 8: https://sourceforge.net/projects/scid/files/Scid/Scid%205.1/

PS: If you're feeling adventurous, you can try ScidUp: https://github.com/bahmanm/scidup/releases/tag/v1-testing-2026-07-16

Had to rebuild my system and reinstall SCID.  The only thing that would easily install on my Ubuntu system was scidCommunity, which appears to have been a fork.  It works all right until I want to turn on the engines and none of them work!

Okay, so maybe I'll go back to regular SCID.  Downloaded the 5.2 tarball and it all more or less works except for wretched selection of fonts.

How can I get back to the SCID I've used for a dozen years or more?
