+# Getting the software going again after 20 years
+This was the software I used on a day-to-day basis for managing my corporate network back in 1995. It was the first open source project I contributed to, writing the user guide [Getting Started With Tkined] and now I need a simple, easy to manage visual network management tool again. It only took about 4 hours of digging around the internet to get to this point where I can start testing the underlying network management tools. The greatest feature of this software is the ability to do pretty sophisticated device monitoring using tools like SNMP with ease.

+# Platform
+Debian 7.8 64 Bit Linux running in an Oracle Virtualbox VM. There was a version of the software that ran under Windows but the last known platform I remember it running on was NT Workstation 4.0

+# Additional Software 
+## ActiveState ActiveTcl 8.6. 
+The software is written in a language called Tcl/Tk, which is pretty obscure these days. Fortunately [ActiveState](http://activestate.com/activetcl) is the maintainer of the package, and it installs and runs flawlessly on Debian.

+##  X11 Libraries
+`apt-get install libX11-dev`
+
+The software needs to be built from source, so you need to be comfortable with configure and make. The full set of development tools, gcc make etc needs to be installed. after downloading the source tree, go to the unix directory and run:
+
+`./configure`
+
+`make`
+
+`make install`
+
+# Installation Notes
+Right now, the installation doesn't complete cleanly, because of some path issues.
+
+
+`ln -s /opt/Activestate-8.6/lib/libtcl8.6.so /lib/libtcl8.6.so`
+
+`ln -s /opt/Activestate-8.6/lib/libtk8.6.so /lib/libtk8.6.so`
+
+`cp -r /usr/local/lib/scotty* /opt/Activestate-8.6/lib`
+
+`cp -r /usr/local/lib/tnm*    /opt/Activestate-8.6/lib`
+
+`cp -r /usr/local/lib/tkined* /opt/Activestate-8.6/lib`
+
+`added export TCLLIBPATH=/opt/Activestate-8.6/lib to .bashrc`
+
+made sure the 'scotty' could be found in the path when executed as root
