Our Tk-related source code in its present form definitely depends on X11 (which is probably why your attempt sans X11 failed). This topic has come up before, and IIRC somebody planned to see whether our Tk-related source code could be changed so the X11 dependency was no longer necessary. However, no progress was reported so I don't think anything more was done. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
