[Radiance-general] trad on the Mac?

[Greg Ward]

Hi.

As far as I can tell, they seem to have changed Tcl/Tk in some  
fundamental ways, and the old trad code no longer runs properly.  I  
don't have time right now to investigate, unfortunately.  I don't  
have the latest documentation on Tcl, and it's been forever since I  
touched any of this code.

Anyone else have info. on the evolution of Tcl/Tk?  I wish they  
didn't keep changing it in incompatible ways.  Every new release  
seems to break something, and it's been many releases since I made  
any updates.
