Subject: Announcing a complete port of tcl and tk to VMS

I had some spare time last week and I ported tcl 6.2 and tk 1.4 to VMS.  Just
about everything works in tcl: open, exec, glob, times, etc.  For tk,
the demo script "widget" runs just fine.  Even BYO might work, I ran it
and it created its three startup windows but I am not familiar enough with
it to do anything else.

There are two files on mango.rsmas.miami.edu, directory ~ftp/pub:

	tcl-vms.bck.Z
	tk-vms.bck.Z

They were both compressed with unix compress and it's up to you to figure
out how to restore the characteristics that BACKUP likes.  Each BACKUP
saveset contains a readme.vms you should read.

Any comments and/or fixes should be mailed to me directly or posted in
comp.lang.tcl, I don't read comp.os.vms.

Please don't ask for this via e-mail, it's just too big to send that way.
