Hi Alan,
I ran the comprehensive tests for Cygwin and MinGW (no interactive tests) as well as the interactive comprehensive tests for Cygwin. The non-interactive tests were perfect for both platforms. But I had some trouble with the set of interactive tests: - I could not run them on MinGW, as CMake errored out for reasons I have not explored as yet - The Cygwin interactive tests ran for some 5 hours - then I interrupted the script. I came across the same tests so many times that I started to suspect an infinite loop. Not sure what to make of it. - Some of the programs running the NTK device did not produce any graphs, which is odd. But navigating the interface was a trifle tricky as no cursor was being shown. That may be due to the set-up of my X Window system - it lacked a window manager. Still, this is something I want to look into a bit closer. The graphs that I did see looked quite fine to me. The oddities seem to be related to Cygwin and the set-up I use, rather than the redacted Tcl interface. I will run the tests for bare Windows too but I do not expect any problems.
