I just downloaded and installed tcl/tk on a Winblows95 box that previously
didn't have it, installed the software and used FTP to pick up a stupid
tcl program I wrote on my linux box.. Double clicked on it, whir whir whir
and there it was, as dumb as it was on my linux box! (It is one of those
programs you write a few days after Hello World!)

The release I got was the Sun Labs release (8.0), available from
http://sunscript.sun.com
They also provide full source code and binaries for Winblows,
Hackintosh, and Unix.

Well, the "not for free" is a major turn-off.  I don't make money writing
programs, it's sort of a hobby in between other hobbies. I spend enough
money on my CR250R to make up for getting my programming for free. On top
of that is my morality isue... Can I really call myself a firm believer in
the future of Unix and Linux while writing code in VB? Sleeping with the
enemy, so to speak. Also, I prefer the development environment of Pico,
save the mouse for Quake.

I'm working on a neat little piece of code right now, that if it comes
together and works well, I intend to submit it to Slackware for possible
inclusion with the distribution.
