Re: TkExtra -- Swarm App w/o X

[Laszlo Gulyas]

Well, I was not clear enough. Sorry for that!

If I say '-batchmode', it works. However, I find it awkward to always  
spell it out. Any chance to change the default? (I mean, if there is no
such a thing as GUI in the model, why am I supposed to specify it
run-time?)

Sorry, if I am pushing unimportant details...

Thank,

Gulya
