   the "To," "Cc," and "Newsgroups" headers for details. ]]

I have updated the TclTk installers for MacOS Classic (7.5.5 - 9.2.2) to
TclTk 8.4.2.

They are available for download from the Tcl file release page on
Sourceforge:
    http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894&release_id=144142

As usual, there are three different versions of the installer:
* runtime-only: appropriate for most users (4.8M)
    http://prdownloads.sf.net/tcl/MacTclTk_8.4.2_RuntimeInstl.bin
* full: with additional binaries, projects and full sources (20.3M)
    http://prdownloads.sf.net/tcl/MacTclTk_8.4.2_FullInstall.bin
* active web: download-on-demand version of the full installer (0.5M)
    http://prdownloads.sf.net/tcl/MacTclTk_8.4.2_WebInstall.bin

Summary of Mac specific changes below; see the 8.4.2 release
announcement and ChangeLog for more detailed information:

  works on links, [glob -type l] works, and broken links can be accessed
  as files.
