I've now managed to compile the Tcl and Tk libraries -- thanks for the
explanations about the move of MacOSXOpenBundleResources, Jim -- and I'm
linking my application with them.  (By the way: can anyone tell me the
equivalent of 'ldd' on Mac OS X so I can check this?).

I still get the SetFrontProcess error, every time I try to give my app
focus.

Ash.

PS I haven't updated my Tcl/Tk from CVS for a few days -- would that help?
