Sergio,
Macintosh is very difficult to support at present. Unlike other
OS implementations of Tcl/Tk, in order for Visual Tcl to work
seemlessly, I must create a custom Wish shell with modified
resources. I did this for 1.03 a while back, but it was such a
pain that I dropped it. Additionally, I no longer have access
to a Mac to create this file - and one must be created for each
version of Tk. The matrix is currently:
tk4.2 tk8.0
PPC x x
68k x x
so four wish shells for each distribution.
the only way to run no mac at the moment is to start wish, cd to
the installation directory for Visual Tcl and "source vt.tcl".
It is no longer necessary to set VTCL_HOME.
Let me know if this works.
