Getting tcl, tk, and wish

These software packages are available by anonymous ftp from ftp.smli.com in directory /pub/tcl. They are needed only for the upshot and nupshot programs; you do not need them in order to install MPI.
You should get tcl7.3.tar.Z and tk3.6.tar.Z (and patch tk3.6p1.patch). Later versions of both tcl and tk are incompatible with these and do not work with nupshot. The upshot program has been modified to work with either tk 3.6 or tk4.0.
It is necessary that the wish program be accessible to users; the other parts of tcl and tk do not need to be installed (but make sure that everything that wish itself needs is installed).
