This is a good point. One person here had that problem, and put colons
between fields. Perhaps the source could be modified to accept either
spaces or colons as delimitors.

Also - it doesn't say in the README file that both the tnm and tkined
directories have to be added. Being new to TCL/TK some of us were
wondering if we were suppose to specify the path for tcl/tk as well.

A better error message might say

Looked in the directories specified in TCLLIBPATH:
/usr/local
/home/local
Couldn't find file tnm2.1.0. ABORT
