Expect it to move to 

ftp://ftp.wpi.edu/perl5/Tk-b7.tar.gz 

when John gets a chance to move it ...

As OSF folks had build problems, and fix may make things break elsewhere
there is a Tk-b7. There are also incompatible changes die to 
sticking to 14 character file names.

You also get (because I forgot to exclude it) a new sub directory HTML
which has my hackings toward a perl/Tk web browser. It can be used
to read the html in the doc directory, or if you have LWP on the net.
It is riddled with bugs and slow - help anyone?

Changes in b7

* Added workround for perl bug in new C version Callback::Call called from 
  perl in a loop (e.g. showed up in color_editor apply defaults).

* Changed Makefile.PL's to allow build on OSF again

* Changed enabling of -Werror for GCC to only occur where my home
  directory exists.

* Adjusted Frame.pm to comprehend that -colormap is create-time only 
  option.

* Applied John Outerhout patch to tkImgPhoto.c 

* Enforced 14 character filename length limit on all files in MANIFEST.
  Renamed 
    ScrolledListbox -> ScrlListbox
    FileSelector    -> FileSelect
    LabledEntry     -> LabEntry
    LabledRadio     -> LabRadio
  >> INCOMPATIBLE <<

* Fixed memory leak due to -textvariable 

* Implemented Tcl_GetVar2 so that -fontmap and -colormap work
  for canvas postscript option.
  Added trivial postscript demo canvas_ps, and postscript print
  option to widget demo 'plot' (Thanks Guy/Steve).
