Please forward to me any reports of true bugs, because I would like to
correct them in my version.
Bear in mind that I have not even bothered to compile the Xt version for
several years; all my development work is on the Tcl/Tk version. Most
errors you find are likely to be parts of the Xt code that broke when I
changed something in the Tcl/Tk version. There is not too much difference
between the way the two versions behave. However, I would urge you to get
the original Tcl/Tk version compiled and running, and compare it to the
Xt version. In particular, the Tcl/Tk version supports multiple windows,
but the Xt version does not---I didn't feel like writing all the GUI
routines for Xt. It takes up enough of my time to support one version.
