Ted,
thanks for the pointer. I'd be interested in how people feel
about this. But, on a brighter note, I think I've got the
fixes required for using Swarm with Tcl 7.5 and Tk 4.1 (and
maybe 7.6 4.2, also). But, I'm not sure just yet. And I
haven't put hooks in for using either, yet, which I'd like to
do so that we don't *force* anyone to upgrade after *forcing*
everyone to maintain the older versions.
