Dear Jeroen, Thank you very much for doing this.
I understand from other (off-list) correspondence that there is an intention to remove Tktable from the macOS distribution of R when Tcl/Tk is updated there, and so a more permanent solution is probably to provide Tktable via an R package. I plan to pursue that possibility.
