Why not just use TCL/Tk which is already available under the same licencing terms as FreeBSD. I would think that you will run into problems with Motif since Visual Tcl merely provides a thin wrapper around Motif so that TCL programs can use it. You are, in effect, giving away free Motif when you give away Visual TCL. What is it about Visual TCL that makes you prefer it to TCL/Tk? -- Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-546-8022 Memra Software Inc.
