Using Activestate binaries (not that I use Tcl anyways).
The current version is 8.4.10.0 but Tk::Zinc expects 8.4.9.0

Since I had a much older version 8.4.3 - I upgraded but 8.4.9.0 is not
available.

It has been a few years since I've played with Zinc. At that time - I had
instability problems (i.e. crashes) on Linux RH7.2/7.3. Your windows version
is awesome - especially the simple install procedure! Thanks for all your
hard work. This is a great addition to the Tk toolkit (to be redundant :-) )

Hello Jack,

in fact this bug was reported on our bugzilla (bug #25) by some other
canadian the 20th, and solved the 24th of June by Patrick.

An updated release of the .msi have been released the same day, and
solve the problem you mentionned.

I do agree with you that Patrick did a great job in enhancing the
distribution process of TkZinc. as the toolkit is mainly in C, plus
many use of openGL libraries, it is quite a hard work to make it
available on any linux host, winXP (and also MacOSX with fink) and with
three major scripting language: perl, tcl and python.

I just hope now that with opening more largely the cvs and creating a
bugzilla we will get more feedback to enhance even more TkZinc.

cheers,

christophe

I just tried going to that site, and all it tells me is
"coucou re coucou" ... possibly hacked?

Seems to be back online.

Hopefully, it seems due to some mis-configuration and automatic restart
of the http://www.tkzinc.org server the 1st July.

(BTW, having no news reader ready to use, I do only episodically read
the newsgroup on google-groups...)

Cheers,
