!!!!! DISREGARD PREVIOUS MESSAGE !!!!!

I found a source for Tcl/Tk that has the latest release of Tcl/Tk for 
Macs. It's in the form of a Mac installer. Plus easy drag-n-drop 
instructions for making self starting files for apps.

Here is the addy:

http://www.msen.com/~clif/TclTutor.html.

This would be a good site to link to. The link that you have now 
doesn't d/l a version of Tcl that works with new Macs nor does it 
conform to what you describe in your instructions.

I've made the self started and tried it a little the splash screen 
looks good, but the set-up screen is a little squirrley. I let you 
know after I reboot if the bugs clear out.

Hope this is of help to you.
