I built the tree described below and populated it with the
files that were unzipped with Winzip and moved into the
corresponding directories. Some directories ended up empty,
some partially filled... (my notes are at work...)

The bin directory was empty!

The include directory had all of the files it was supposed to
have

Two files and two directories, check

Yup, all present (is pkgIndex.tcl here the same as the one
found in ./lib/tcl8.4/blt2.4)?

Empty, there was a tclIndex file, but it's also needed elsewhere,
I put it elsewhere - used automake to generate this file (from
memory).

I think the demos were all there

None of the bitmaps above where there, but the two
directories below were there.

The blt98.gif, close.gif, close2.gif, open.gif, open2.gif and
sample.gif were present. The others were absent.

Missing graph1.tcl ->graph5.tcl, there are files with
the same name in the some other (blt2.4/demos/) directory

No html files

Could this be the same file as that found earlier
(/lib/blt2.4)?

I think I'm going to have the sys admins try. No chance of
this going to the C: drive though.
