The warning is just that, not an error. But I don't know what is causing
this. I'll look into it.

The very first version that was disseminated, was written by Glynn as a
prototype TclTk replacement for Xganim. When I incorporated it into the
overall TclTk GUI, I had to change aspects of how it operated--though not
this part. These statements work fine with integer-level resolutions (e.g.,
1m, 30m), but seem to have problems with resolutions that are floating
point. I'm sure that the regexp statements could be changed to deal with FP
data, but I don't know how to do it. So I accomplished this by another
route.
