It works find except it does not have the combo box widget. To run it, type: % wish -f demo.tk.nopatch To use the combo box, compile the patch. Read the file readme.patch for more details. After you compile the patch to the executable, say, twish, type the following: % twish -f demo.tk 3) USING TIX IN YOUR SCRIPT In your script, you only have to source in the main file tixPkg.tk. Before sourcing it in, make sure the variable TIX_SOURCE_DIR is correctly set to the directory that contains all the Tix files. Set the variable TIX_USE_PATCH to 1 if you are using the patch, 0 if you aren't. If you have any questions, read the demo files first. Still stuck? Mail me ioi@graphics.cis.upenn.edu. Good luck.
