Hi!

I have put a snapshot of my current tkined and scotty sources on
ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de in /pub/local. Everyone writing his or her own
applications for tkined should get these versions as there are lots of
changes to scotty's tcl extensions. I'm planning to get the interface
stable before I will release version 1.0. This snapshot is a step in
this direction.

Many of the suggestions and bug reports have been addressed, some are
still on my TODO list. Feel free to comment on what has changed (good
or bad news - both is very welcome). Below is a short summary of
important changes. See the ChangeLog files for more details.

tkined: o hierarchical menus for icon, font and color menus

o better support for your own dialogs

o new object type REFERENCE which may contain a URL
reference to a tkined map accessible via ftp

scotty: o many cleanups and some rewrites for speed up

o new getdate and getclock commands

o new udp command to send and receive udp datagrams

o sources of a syslogd replacement are included which
support tcp connections to a forwarding syslogd

As usual, reports all bugs and problems with the installation or use
of this software either on the list or directly to us.

And let us know if you like to share your great tkined maps via ftp.
Drop me a note where to find it and I will add it to the sample.tki
map included in the tkined sources.
