Re: [MACTCL] ANN: tclAppleHelp 1.1

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for sharing this. I just tried it with some Help books already 
registered on my machine.
It works fine from tclsh. For instance, with Rezilla 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/rezilla/):
% package require tclAppleHelp
1.0
% tclAppleHelp::GotoPage "Aide Rezilla"
Aide Rezilla

and the help displays as expected.

OTOH a "package require tclAppleHelp" executed in Alpha from its Tcl 
shell reports:
Error: no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /Library/Tcl/tclAppleHelp/universal-macosx/tclAppleHelp.dylib: not a 
dylib

Any idea what can cause this ? Is it because Alpha is currently not 
Universal. This is on a G5 with PPC.

Bernard
