[MACTCL] RE: couldn't post question

Lisa,

tcl-mac is the right list that you want.  However, in this case, I think you
are out of luck.  Perl/Tk, AFAIK, has never advanced beyond Tk 8.0.  It's
likely that you can still get Perl/Tk for Mac OS X, but only one that works in
XWindows mode.

  Hello Jeff,

  I tried to post a question to the web site but repeatedly could not. So I've
sent the post to you instead. Can you put it up? Or maybe you have the answer?

  Thanks- Lisa


    Subject: newbie: mac os x and TK tool set

    Hi,

    I am a complete novice at this and I hope I am posting the right question
to the right group.

    I am running Mac OS X (10.1) and I would like to run a unix application
called tg1_81.pl . In the documentation for this program it states "tg.pl: if
you are using Linux or Unix (note: you must have PERL installed with the
Perl/TK tool set)" .

    So I downloaded MacOSXTk8.4a4 from the apple site. How do I use this
product to get the Perl/TK tool set?

    Please answer in the most basic terms. My knowlegde of unix is extremely
elementary.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lisa
