Hi!

You can find complete tar files or the patches on our ftp server:

ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/tkined-1.3.4.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/scotty-2.0.1.tar.gz

ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/tkined-1.3.3-1.3.4.diff.gz
ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/scotty-2.0.0-2.0.1.diff.gz

I have not yet looked through all the proposed changes. Perhaps some
will become part of this distribution in later patches. Here is a
list of the most important changes:

Scotty:

o The Makefiles have been cleaned up to support VPATH and to avoid
unneeded compilations. The configure scripts now try to guess even
more and they save the include and library paths between two runs.

o Scotty now honors the SCOTTY_LIBRARY environment variable.

o The stcl code has been removed. If you want to play with secure
agents, please use the tk4.1/tcl7.5 alpha releases.

o Fixed a bug in the job command where a self modifying job could
clobber some memory.

o The SNMP MIB parser now recognizes INDEX clauses. There is a new
command 'mib index <name>' which returns the list of index variables.
(Note, this is not used by the scripts as I am working on more
powerful mechanisms to run through SNMP tables.)

o Some minor performance improvements for name lookups in the MIB
tree.

o Various changes to the monitoring scripts. You can now define
thresholds for individual nodes and complete jobs.

Tkined:

o Various changes to the popup menus. Commands provided by some tools
will now appear in the popup menu. See the tkined.defaults file for
details how to configure this feature.

o Fixed a bug in the stripchart and barchart widgets where the first
scale line was drawn below the bounding box.

o Added tkined.defaults options to control if Tkined should ask for
a confirmation before destroying a map. You can also define the
initial setting some options, which allows to bring up Tkined in
the locked mode.

o The color menus should be back (well it will be shown even on
monochome displays).

This version should be quite stable now. I am already playing with the
alpha version of Tk4.1/Tcl7.5. Scotty and Tkined should compile with
this version. However, there are some bugs in the event handling code
of Tcl7.5a1 that show up on some machines, so there might be problems.

Have a nice weekend,

Juergen
