Hi!

1> what is BLT and where it can be found -- looks like it is a graphic
library used by tkined. correct?

The BLT library can be found on the Tcl/Tk archive server
ftp.aud.alcatel.com in /tcl/extensions/BLT-1.7.tar.gz (or something
close to this). There was recently a posting in comp.lang.tcl about a
patched version for Tk4.0. Note, you can run Tkined without BLT
without loosing any functionality. I wanted to add some nice graphing
capabilities based on the BLT extension, but I never completed this
stuff.

2> in addition to the man pages come with the tar.gz file. Are there
any other documents available on scotty and tkined in whatever
formats? (I did read the papers mentioned in the README file and
find it very useful in getting a general picture. However, details
will be every more demanding if one is to start exploring the whole
system by hands:-)

I have written a paper about the scotty extension for the Tcl/Tk
workshop in July. I will make it available via ftp and WWW when I am
back home. I am sorry to tell you that a more detailed description
(e.g. a users manual) will not be available soon.
