FWIW, you should not need to have TCL_LIBRARY set if you
have correctly installed Tcl on the machine (that is, with
Tcl\bin and Tcl\lib properly structured).

In any case, you want the BWidget directory as a "sibling",
not a "subdirectory".  That means:

\Storage Card\tcl844\lib\Bwidget

However, you might be getting an error because the dir
structure isn't correct.  A normal install of BWidgets has
the version number and dirname like 'bwidget-1.7'.  You
can install ActiveTcl on your main Windows machine, then
just copy the Tcl\lib\bwidget-1.7 directory as a sibling
to the one on the CE machine.  This should work.

I'm not sure how the celib interaction works in this case.
I've had errors that mysteriously didn't go to the celib
created std channel files.
