I have tried to get the examples working with Tcl (running pltcl) under Cygwin and MinGW. I had some limited success: 1. The PostScript device works fine 2. The wingcc device under MinGW just shows an empty screen 3. The wingcc (?) device under Cygwin makes the program hang: It wants an X DISPLAY, which makes me wonder if it is compiled properly (i.e. with Windows in mind, rather than X Window). The non-response may therefore be due to the lack of a proper X server. I had to fiddle around a bit with paths and DLLs and some environment variables, so it is far from clean, but at least I was able to get it to work for a basic device. Anyway, that is a quick update for the moment. Regards, Arjen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
