Not quite. Io_lib is our package too so it's not just a copy of an external package we know to work. It was split off as a separate package simply as many people wanted it that way without the baggage of the whole Staden package. It also allowed us to make it easier to build without tackling head on the full problem of revamping the Staden build system. It's not ideal though. James PS. I ought to check our Tk copy too. In the past we edited various bits of Tcl source to fix bugs and improve features, but I think over the years they were incorporated into the official Tk release anyway. I don't think there's any outstanding local changes I still use, but I'd have to double check before I could say that with any confidence. -- James Bonfield ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) A Staden Package developer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/staden/ -- The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is operated by Genome Research Limited, a charity registered in England with number 1021457 and a company registered in England with number 2742969, whose registered office is 215 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BE. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
