BTW, I've just fixed this in cvs so this problem will be gone in the 
next release.

there is however another problem with using 'Simple TK' as a 
standalone single file binary that we cannot work around using 
resources: encoding files are not found at startup (fails silently) 
and thus e.g. macRoman to utf-8 conversion cannot be performed 
(you'll notice that [encoding system] returns 'identity'). This could 
lead to all sort of problems when using non-ascii chars.

the only way that I know to get encoding file support in a standalone 
binary on mac classic is to use tclkit.

Cheers,

Daniel
