I understand this is a problem.
The thing is, it would take a lot of time to make sure Visual Tcl works
with older versions, on all the platforms. There are just 2 developers
working on the project on their free time... Another reason I use
Tcl/Tk 8.3.2 is that the 8.0.5 has a number of small problems like
not correctly loading Iwidgets, as well a few namespace bugs.
If you don't use any commands, options or widget commands introduced
after 8.0.5, the script should run fine on Tcl/Tk 8.0.5, even if developed
using Visual Tcl running Tcl/Tk 8.3.2.
In the attributes editor, there are checkboxes to save/not save options.
At least do not save options like "Active Background", "Active Foreground",
and "Validate" (introduced in 8.2 I think). Uncheck any other options not
needed.
Or, you can ship your own distribution of Tcl/Tk 8.3.2 with the utility or
better, use freewrap as a standalone wish program (freewrap is really
compact, around 700K) to run your utility on the target linux distribution.
Freewrap 4.4 is based on Tcl/Tk 8.3.2.

Then you bilieve it is not a isk develop a program using 8.3.2 if this
program
will be run in a linux distribution with the 8.0.5 version of tk and tcl?

This is what I'm concerned, if I develop one utility using the version
8.3.2,
he will run without problems in a Linux Distribution like Conectiva Linux
5.0
with the 8.0.5 version of tk and tcl?
