I am confused....shouldn't VTcl work on Mac? It is written in Tcl...or are
there some platform dependent parts that make this not possible? I seem to
recall there being some Platform/OS sections in VTcl...could these possibly
be the cause? Could they perhaps be removed an fix the problem?
Sorry don't have access to my machine with Vtcl, so I can't verify this
right now.
Could this perhaps be a flaw in the implementation of TCL/TK on the Mac
platform?
