Using BLT with windows

[Christopher Rose]

Hi,

Please forgive what I'm sure is a novice question.
I am running Windows 2000 with Tcl8.1 and Wish8.1.
I downloaded from this site the installer
blt24y-for-tlc81.exe, which ran successfully.
Now if I fire up my my Wish81.exe and type

package require BLT

I get back the following;

couldn't load file "BLT24.dll"; no such process

Could someone please tell me what else I need
to do to use BLT with windows?  Thanks thanks
thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Chris

The easiest method is to install BLT in the same location as
Tcl/Tk.  By default, the blt24z-for-tcl81.exe installer will
assume that you have installed Tcl/Tk in C:\Program Files\Tcl.

Otherwise you will have to
  1) add the path of the directory containing the blt2.4 directory
      to the "auto_path" Tcl variable.  You have to do this before
     you can run "package require BLT".
  2) make sure the the directory containing BLT24.dll is in your PATH.
