[TCLCORE] Re: tkDND release...

[Giorgos P. <pe...@II...>]

Dear Mr. Hobbs,

As both developers of the tkDND extension (me and Laurent) are
leaving for vacations, we have decided to make a release of our current
code in order to be in time for the tk8.4a2 release. We will be back
by the mid of August...

I also think that this is a good time to add tkDND to your cvs server.
Please inform me for the necessary steps I have to do before tomorrow 
(if any :-))

The current status of tkDND is as follows:

Currently only unix & windows versions are available.

Unix:
Everything is working. A few things missing from the Motif protocol.
No known bugs :-)

Windows:
Main functionality working. There are some known problems.

Code for both platforms is compiling with out warnings and does not
cause wish to crash.
Unix side is in C only and is TEA compliant (I hope :-)).
Tested under solaris & linux. Supported protocol is XDND
extended with Motif drops. Motif drag is not fully functional yet.

There is a man page and a few tutorials in the demo directory.
Currently no tests (how can something like this be tested?)

The windows code is not as well structured as the unix code, but we
plan a re-write from scratch. We are now at the process of reading 
the OLE dnd manuals :-)

Please inform me (pe...@ii...) what your plans for the extension are
ASAP. Is it going to actually be in tk8.4a2? My opinion is that at least the unix
code should be in order to gain feedback from end users...
