Sad state of affairs, I'm having to follow up
my own posting<sigh>.

Here is what I've found out.

- - - -

All run with bltwish24, comparing a half dozen entries using
bltwish revealed no differences.

General comments:
- tryng to use zoom seemed to result in a "Runtime error"
and a crash
- I can highlight a series in the legend and the points in the
graph appear in blue, but I can't roll over a point and have
it highlight in the legend
- "can't read "cosX(max)": no such element in array" seems to
result from an expression used repeatedly (see tabnotebook2.tcl,
tabnotebook3.tcl, tabset2.tcl, tabset3.tcl). I'm guessing
fixing that will fix all of the instances, I haven't done much
with Tcl/Tk in a couple of years, it looks like greek to me
right now
- a bunch of the crashes reference the following error message:
"instruction 0x1004ab96 referenced memory at 0x00000000"
this failure can either happen immediately (a plain crash)
or a graph, diagram, etc. can appear and then crash
(see barchart1.tcl, barchart3.tcl, barchart4.tcl, graph1.tcl,
graph3.tcl, graph4.tcl, htext1.tcl)
- some of the tab demo's (tabnotebook?.tcl and tabset?.tcl)
only have a page or two of graph or image
(see tabnotebook1.tcl, tabnotebook2.tcl, tabnotebook3.tcl,
tabset1.tcl, tabset2.tcl, tabset3.tcl)


barchart1.tcl - crashes, instruction 0x1004ab96 referenced memory
at 0x00000000
barchart2.tcl - fails, invalid command name, ".header.stacked"
barchart3.tcl - draws chart and crashes - I see a shark, a blue bar,
green bitmap bar (teddy bear? tiger?), red bar,
different cross hatched pattern bars
instruction at 0x1004ab9b....
barchart4.tcl - see barchart1.tcl
barchart5.tcl - fails, can't read "graph": no such variable
bgexec1.tcl - seems to work
bgexec2.tcl - fails; can't execute du, changing
du to dir and it's fine
bgexec3.tcl - fails & fixable; no files matched glob
pattern
"C:/Program Files/Tcl/bin/tclsh8*.exe"
changing the path to reflect the actual
location and it's fine
bgexec4.tcl - see bgexec3.tcl
bgexec5.tcl - seems to work, then again since it does call
barchart1.tcl, barchart3.tcl and barchart4.tcl ...
bitmap.tcl - seems to work
bitmap2.tcl - seems to work
busy1.tcl - seems to work, not clear how to test
busy2.tcl - seems to work, not clear how to test
container.tcl - fails; can't execute "xterm"
container3.tcl - crashes; instruction 0x00422254 referenced memory
at 0x0006272; a window was created (top4), the
default window was resized and four checkboxes added
dnd1.tcl - fails; invalid command name "dnd"
dnd2.tcl - fails; only works under X11
dragdrop1.tcl - seems to work
dragdrop2.tcl - seems to work
eps.tcl - didn't crash, didn't burn, didn't seem to do anything...
graph1.tcl - crashes; the default wish window resized, see
barchart1.tcl
graph2.tcl - seems to work
graph3.tcl - draws graph & crashes, see barchart1.tcl
graph4.tcl - draws graph & crashes, see barchart1.tcl
graph5.tcl - seems to work
graph6.tcl - seems to work
graph7.tcl - seems to work
hierbox1.tcl - seems to work

instead of space
hierbox4.tcl - seems to work
hiertable1.tcl - seems to work
hiertable2.tcl - seems to work
hiertable3.tcl - seems to work
htext1.tcl - crashes, see barchart1.tcl
spline.tcl - seems to work
stripchart1.tcl - seems to work, warning message when I tried to change
the warning symbol(?)
tabnotebook1.tcl- maybe! as long as there only supposed to be one tab
filled (out of four), everything else seems to work
tabnotebook2.tcl- maybe! there is a total two graphs in the notebook,
graph#1 widget, there is also an error message:
"can't read "cosX(max)": no such element in array"
tabnotebook3.tcl- maybe! I can see two graphs, graph#1 and tab5 along
with the same error message as in tabnotebook2.tcl
tabset1.tcl - seems to work
tabset2.tcl - maybe! I can see one graph (Graph #1), I get the
same error message as the one in tabnotebook2.tcl
tabset3.tcl - maybe! I see one graph (Image), Graph #1 is present
at start-up, if I view another tab and then try to
look at graph #1 again, the tab is there, but the
graphic is gone, I also get the same error that I
get for tabnotebook2.tcl
tabset4.tcl - seems to work
tour.tcl - fails; couldn't open "/home/gah/Pics/Ex1.gif": no
such file or directory
treeview1.tcl - seems to work
winop1.tcl - seems to work
winop2.tcl - seems to work

Is that enough detail?
