Interesting. I have re-written the communication between tkined and
the scotty processes to use TCP sockets instead of pipes to make
tkined work on Windows boxes. It works quite nice on a Windows NT 4.0
box, but is sometimes hangs on a Windows NT 3.51 box. I never figured
out what is going wrong. So my question is: Which version of Windows
are you using?
