*** WARNING *** (to everyone):

Do not attempt to use the version at the head of the CVS tree
(obtained when using "cvs checkout" or "cvs update" without a "-r"
switch).

Since April, nearly all development has taken place on a branch, and
the trunk doesn't appear to have been kept synchronised.

The working version has the following branch tag:

	releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0

So use e.g. "cvs update -r releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0" to get a
working source tree.

This is probably a bug; deleting ~/.tcltkgrass should allow you to
get past it.

This suggests that you're using the head version instead of the
(working) branch. See above.
