Re: [MACTCL] [TCLCORE] Request for feedback: Re-implement problematic Cocoa widgets

[Larry M. <lm...@mc...>]

Kevin,

Tk always needs some lovin.  If you are willing to go tackle that then
go you.  BitMover is willing to toss some cash or toys towards the effort.
If anyone (das?  jeff?) is willing to help, we can sprinkle more cash
and toys around.

Contact me off list to get said toys.  Please do so right away, if it
is this year the cash will spend far more freely than after Jan 1.
