Expect it to move to

ftp://ftp.wpi.edu/perl5/Tk-b7.tar.gz

when John gets a chance to move it ...

As OSF folks had build problems, and fix may make things break elsewhere
there is a Tk-b7. There are also incompatible changes die to
sticking to 14 character file names.

You also get (because I forgot to exclude it) a new sub directory HTML
which has my hackings toward a perl/Tk web browser. It can be used
to read the html in the doc directory, or if you have LWP on the net.
It is riddled with bugs and slow - help anyone?


Changes in b7

* Added workround for perl bug in new C version Callback::Call called from
 perl in a loop (e.g. showed up in color_editor apply defaults).

* Changed Makefile.PL's to allow build on OSF again

* Changed enabling of -Werror for GCC to only occur where my home
 directory exists.

* Adjusted Frame.pm to comprehend that -colormap is create-time only
 option.

* Applied John Outerhout patch to tkImgPhoto.c

* Enforced 14 character filename length limit on all files in MANIFEST.
 Renamed
   ScrolledListbox -> ScrlListbox
   FileSelector    -> FileSelect
   LabledEntry     -> LabEntry
   LabledRadio     -> LabRadio
 >> INCOMPATIBLE <<

* Fixed memory leak due to -textvariable

* Implemented Tcl_GetVar2 so that -fontmap and -colormap work
 for canvas postscript option.
 Added trivial postscript demo canvas_ps, and postscript print
 option to widget demo 'plot' (Thanks Guy/Steve).
