I would be interested to know if there is a strong interest in
maintaining a Mac version of Visual Tcl.
I have spent a moderate amount of time to maintain Windows
compatibility for such topics as long filename support and
differences in the window manager commands. There is no question of
dropping Windows support of course, but I don't know how large the
Tcl/Tk
programmer community is on Macintosh.
I have tried version vTcl 1.2.1 on an IMac system 8.6 with Tcl/Tk 8.3
and
visual Tcl just didn't start. Worse, it didn't display any error
message on the command console and Tcl/Tk quit without further notice.
I didn't have more time to figure out what was happening.
Since I don't have tons of opportunities of using an IMac I was
wondering
if someone would be willing to investigate the problems with 1.2.1 on
Macintosh and send me patches. Also, there would be a need for an
installer
on Mac, because I don't know if there is a free tool to untar/gz files
(StuffIt expander requires a Deluxe version for tar/gz files).
Any comments welcome
