Summary: VFS and mouse cursor specification files

Initial Comment:
Tcl version: 8.3.4
OS Platform: Windows 2000

Problem behaviour:
The issue concerns the configuration of the mouse
cursor through a separate mouse cursor specification
file, e.g.

    . configure -cursor @linkcursor.cur

When a script is run as a scripted document and the
mouse cursor specification file is contained within the
scripted document, the configuration command command
fails, returning the error message:

bad cursor spec
"@F:/whateverpath/mousetest.sdk/bin/linkcursor.cur"

(Both a script from which you can construct a scripted
document that reproduces the error, and a scripted doc
are packed in the attached zip file.)

The faulty behaviour has been noticed when running
under windows, however, I question whether it is
platform specific.


Expected nehaviour:
The mouse cursor specification file should be read from
the VFS and the shape of the mouse cursor should change
accordingly.


Jean Claude Wippler has tracked the problem down to:

quote jcw start

PS.  Oops, wait - I think I found the problem, it's 
Windows-specific. The "win/tkWinCursor.c" has a call
"LoadCursorFromFile", and I can't find
LoadCursorFromFile anywhere else, so it looks like this
call has not yet been made VFS aware. 

quote jcw end


Sincerely,

Erik Leunissen
