ANNOUNCE: VU widget set for Tk8.0
jeff_...@my-dejanews.com
WHERE: http://oprs.mchh.siemens.de/tcl/capp/
REQUIREMENTS: Tcl/Tk8.0.3+, compilation required
Works on Windows or Unix
FEATURES:
* dial A meter display (needle and gauge)
* turndial An interactive knob widget
* pie A piechart widget
* stripchart A stripchart widget
* bargraph A progressbar like widget
NOTES: This is a one-time upgrade for these widgets to 8.0.
I rewrote all the configure and makefiles, and reworked some
of the internal code structure, mostly in order to make it
compile with 8.0. Added also the Windows-happy code. However,
I will NOT be supporting these widgets.... (unless you pay me)
I will likely support variations of these in the future, however
the widgets will have different names and interfaces, although
similar/more enhanced functionality would be added.

I'm guessing that buying you a virtual beer wouldn't cut it, then,
huh?

the tar file, but WinZip, which can usually handle tar's, choked on it. A
zip archive would be nice...

I usually prefer command line tools on the Unix side of Samba 8-)
Anyway, Netscape and WinZip 3.6 on NT4.0SP3 to NTFS work just fine for me!
Did you FTP binary?

It has always been my experience that WinZip handles .tar.gz files
perfectly (I use v6.3 and 7). The trick is to make sure that your
browser doesn't mangle the name of the file when it is downloaded
(most try to change all but the last '.' to _'s, due to MS' previous
braindead inability to handle them).
If you still see problems, I can post a zip.

(archive Downloaded with Communicator 4.0.3) The file originally downloaded as
vu-1_0_0_tar.tar. I tried changing all the "_" to ".", and had the same
problem, then tried removing the second ".tar" with the same result. Finally
changed the second ".tar" to ".gz" and finally got something WinZip would
understand.
I've been in Windows purgatory for 4 years... for my sanity I need a customer
who wants Unix work. ;-)
Thanks for the help.

Oh, I forgot the double-tar bit. I actually reported that as a bug to
the netscape bug list, but never heard back. I think they screwed up their
strtok somewhere, because "a-1.0.tar.gz" becomes "a-1_0_tar.tar", and I can't
believe they mean to do that. Of course, I also requested that on NT they
just leave my name alone... Alas, they must be some scurvy MS-3.1 loving
scum in the bunch.

The other problem that people have reported is that certain browser drop
the .gz from the end, but leave the file gzipped, or duplicate the .tar,
or both, etc.
It is highly recommended that after a user download a file onto Windows
that you make ever effort to give the file a name as close to the original
as you can.
