Archive-name: x11/toolkits/tk/1991-04-26 Archive: sprite.berkeley.edu:tk.tar.Z [128.32.150.27] Original-posting-by: ouster@sprite.Berkeley.EDU (John Ousterhout) Original-subject: Tk 1.2 released Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) I've just released Tk version 1.2, which is identical to version 1.1 except for fixing the "windows walking south" problem. This was a complex problem involving nasty interactions between the ICCCM protocol and various (incorrect) implementations of it in window managers. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other problems that I haven't encountered yet... let me know if/when you encounter them. We've been having disk problems lately on Sprite, and the public FTP area happens to be on the affected disk. Although I think things are OK now, there may be intermittent problems with public FTP over the next few days as we get the problems fixed permanently. If public FTP doesn't seem to work, try again a few hours later. Here's the standard blurb with detailed instructions on retrieving the release: I have left copies of the source and documentation for the Tk toolkit, and for the Tcl command language on which it depends, in the public FTP area on sprite. To retrieve all of this stuff, use anonymous FTP to sprite.berkeley.edu (user "anonymous", password "guest") and retrieve the file "tk.tar.Z" from the top-level directory with the following set of commands: type image (try "type binary" if this command is rejected) get tk.tar.Z The Internet address for sprite.berkeley.edu is 128.32.150.27, in case you need it. What you'll get is a compressed tar file; to get back the original directory hierarchy, type the commands uncompress tk.tar.Z tar xf tk.tar This will create a tk subdirectory with all the source files and documentation. There will be a README file in the subdirectory that tells what to do next. If you are unable to access Sprite via FTP, send me an e-mail message and I'll find some other way (such as 1/2" tape or 8mm Exabyte tape) to get the distribution to you. -- comp.archives file verification sprite.berkeley.edu -rw-rw-r-- 1 ouster guest 822915 Apr 26 08:55 tk.tar.Z found tk ok sprite.berkeley.edu:tk.tar.Z
