Well, there is a path to the shell, there is a path to grass63.bat, then you should add some directories so DLLs and EXEs will all be found (at least on my system), some things are specified Win style, some Unix style ... > >> - I also find it annoying that gis.m starts up in the foreground >> and blocks command line input until you quit it. > > Have you been able to get gis.m to run from cmd.exe ? I haven't and I > think we need a gis.m.bat. Yes, I have been doing some twisting with "start", "cmd.exe" and "exit /b" and all that other horrible stuff that Windows annoys you with. In the end, I got things mostly working.

Do you have binaries we could distribute ? I downloaded from http://www.tcl.tk/. Current version is 8.4.16 and that works just fine. Compiles out-of-the-box under MSYS with no Makefile tweaking or whatever and works great. Sorry, but I need to prepare lectures for tomorrow now and it's a horrible lot of work. Can't get back to this for now ...
