    Great magic stuff ! I should have rereleased BWidget for this event,
    sorry, there is a crucial unreleased bug for 9.0 only in the repository.

    Thanks for all,
    Harald

    Thanks Ashok.

    Will you be creating any new tlckits, I generally download these from:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/twapi/files/Tcl%20binaries/Tclkits%20with%20TWAPI/


    The latest one I see is: tclkit-gui-8_6_13-twapi-4_7_2-x64-max.exe

    These are how I manage multiple versions on my system; they've been very useful.

    Not likely in the near future I'm afraid. Something changed in 8.6.14
    with zlib that causes the tclkit compiles to fail.

    My Tcl focus is currently completely on 9.0 and related matters so I'm
    afraid 8.6 kits have taken a back seat. I have not had time for more
    than a cursory look at the failure. Could be a simple fix but was not immediately obvious.

    Great ! BWidget is re-released.

    TCLWS is the next 9.0 project...

    Take care,
