[GRASS5] tcltkgrass readme text (not)

[Michael Barton]

I found and fixed this in tcltkgrass for GRASS 5.3, and also changed 
the readme.txt file to (I hope) plain ASCII text. I did it in BBEdit 
and checked it in NEdit. It seems to be fine now. Here are the relevant 
files. I will update my own *.tar.gz package next week if possible

TclTkGRASS 4.0

19 March 2004
Michael Barton (Arizona State University)

This is a complete rewrite of the GRASS 5 TclTK menu hierarchy and contents. It is designed for GRASS 5.3 but should work fine with GRASS 5.0.3 also (except in cases where 5.3 has new commands missing from 5.0.3). It adds 200 commands and scripts to the menu system--representing nearly all the functioning, normally compiled commands and scripts for GRASS 5.3. Omitted are commands and scripts that: 1) don't seem to work, 2) duplicate the function of other items, 3) are used mainly in scripting/programming, 4) have inscrutable functions (and possibly don't work), and 5) don't seem useful (only a few).

The additions to the menu system are documented in menu_additions.txt; the commands and scripts omitted are documented in not_in_menu.txt. 

Several new scripts were added to support new menu functions. These are located in the add2scripts directory and documented in new_scripts.txt

TO INSTALL:
1. Quit GRASS

2. Backup your current $GISBASE/tcltkgrass directory (just to be safe) by renaming it $GISBASE/oldtcltkgrass.

3. Copy the /tcltkgrass directory provided here to your $GISBASE (GRASS53 or GRASS5) directory. (It is possible that you may need to adjust permissions for the tcltk scrips in the $GISBASE/tcltkgrass/script directory to make sure that users have execute permissions--hopefully not necessary).

4. Copy the scripts in the directory /add2scripts to your $GISBASE/scripts directory. (It is possible that you may need to adjust permissions for the scripts to make sure users have execute permissions--hopefully not necessary).

5. Restart GRASS and tcltkgrass.
