First of all many thanks for your comments. I am going to respond to
some of the little problems now.

Hmm, it works fine for me. Did you specify both options with valid
settings? (The library directory is the one containing libtcl.a and
not TCL's script archive.)

Changing the paper size to DINA1 should give you a large canvas. The
map will get scaled down when printing canvasses as postscript files.
But your are absolutely right that it is possible to lose objects.
Perhaps I should not allow to move objects outside of the page
boundaries.

The next version will restore stripcharts as stripcharts etc.
Restarting running monitoring commands is a bit more difficult,
because I need to change the communication protocol between tkined and
it's scripts to implement this feature. But this is at the head of my
TODO list.

There might be a problem if you have groups of grouped objects. But I
did not observe this problem discovering my test networks here. Can
you reproduce this bug and how you do it?

Nice to know that you enjoyed it.
