Mapscript Tcl interface: call for testers/developers

[Yeewen Sat]

Hi,
I'm trying out the copy of mapscript-tcl-112800.tar.gz sent to me by Tom
Poindexter. I couldn't find any of the *ObjRef functions (e.g. rectObjRef,
layerObjRef) used all over in tcl examples. Am I missing some files?

Nothing is really preventing it from running on windows, except I haven't
built it there or made a Makefile.  Tcl/Tk is notoriously portable between
Unix, Windows, & Mac.  I don't have a good Windows build environment, but
I see many folks are building Tcl/Tk extensions by using cross-compilation
tools on Linux.  The 'send' commands in the ms*tcl program would also need
to be changed to use the builtin 'dde'.
