Hi all,

I am trying to install Tkabber (0.96beta) onmy WIn98 notebook.

I downloaded the latest ActiveTCL (8.4.6.1) and ran the installer,
which installed everything I need in c:/TCL.

so far so good.

Then I downloaded Tkabberer-0.9.6beta and unzipped the
archive in C:\Program Files\Tkabber

When I double click tkabber.tcl, a window pops up complaining:

   Error in Startup script
   -----------------------
   couldn't read file ¨C:/Program/Files/Tkabber/hooks.tcl¨: no such file
or directory
      while executing
   ¨source C:/Program/Files/Tkabber/hooks.tcl¨
      (¨uplevel¨ bosy line 1)
      invoked from within
   ¨uplevel #0 source $fullpath¨
      (procedure ¨load_source¨ line 5)
      invoked from within
   ¨load_source hooks.tcl¨
     (file ¨C:\Program Files\Tkabber\tkabber.tcl¨ line 76)
                    [OK]

Obviously something is not kosher with the translation of filenames
and separators... But I cannot find any mention whether this is
fixable in some configuration file or other.

Any hints anyone?
