Hi Alan, yes, I have seen the various commit messsages. Many thanks for this work!
I will have a look at the color issues and the hack in tkdemos. Meanwhile, I have been looking at the Pltk issue - mainly to see how I can reproduce it. So far, I have not succeeded with this. I can try in three different ways: - Using Cygwin - Using one of the Linux machines I have access to (none running Debian) - Using a virtual machine running Debian The latter is perhaps the most direct way, but it is also the most demanding one. Anyway I hope to make some progress with that this week. I will also get rid of the "TclFormatInt" issue today. Regards, Arjen > -----Original Message----- > From: Alan W.
