Thank you for being cooperative.

Oh, OK I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do a hostile takeover. I was just trying to be useful. I'll take it down.

Tom Phelps posted a comment on ticket #6

TkMan still works great with the version of Tcl/Tk listed in its requirements. You initiated a hostile takeover to get your 5 lines of patches accepted -- WTF? I see you also changed the license, which is illegal. Please delete tkreadman so I don't have to make formal complaints.

I ended up forking as a new project, tkreadman. See if https://sourceforge.net/projects/tkreadman/ works for you. That has the lineends converted, and the Makefile changed to make retkman, and things like that. You can file a bug over there if I blew it :-)

Nobody home here so I forked it. https://sourceforge.net/projects/tkreadman

I got frustrated that there's no manpage viewer nearly as good as the TkMan I remembered. So I started working through the UI issues created by migration to newer Tk versions, and pretty soon I'd fixed all the ones I've noticed. I made a patch. But is anyone here? It would be nice to get TkMan back in circulation.

DorothyR posted a comment on ticket #6

Actually I see I've skipped right over Tk 8.5., and used Tk 8.6. Should work for both, but I'll see if I can compile Tk 8.5 and test it.

DorothyR posted a comment on ticket #6

I made a patch that addresses the most severe Tk 8.5 issues, because apparently I do that. Also added yet another place to look for the index database. 6 tcl files were changed.

Tom Phelps posted a comment on ticket #6

Tk 8.5 make a couple changes that are incompatible with TkMan. The window manager...

Life it too short to track licenses.
