Glen,
If you intend to use a tcl program as an external diff, it has to be an
executable, not a script file (blame WinCvs, we could implement this
option really). As opposed to Unix, Windows doesn't interpret the
#!/bin/wish: so you can come-up with a .bat file (let say
launchDiff.bat) which contents something like "C:\TCL\bin\wish
C:\tkdiff.tcl $1 $2".
Regards,
alex.
