Robert> Now, of course, I have a few more questions:
Robert> - When I had problems on windows, I was told to use Scotty
Robert> 3.0.0: - What is it about 3.0.0 that is better than 2.1.9 on
Robert> windows?
Lots of things. For example, 3.0.0 uses Tcl channels in lots of places
where 2.1.9 used normal files. This has quite some impact if you put
these files into the Tcl event loop.
Robert> - 3.0.0 loads different mibs under windows than it
Robert> does under unix. Is there a reason for this? If so, can anyone
Robert> tell me what it is?
It should load the same MIBs. If not, simply edit the init.tcl script
and make things the same.
Robert> - Some of the commands have changed significantly. Is there
Robert> anywhere that has good documentation of the new commands, and
Robert> possibly porting notes?
As usual, the documentation in in the manual page. For example, the
snmp(n) man page shipped with 3.0.0 documents the new commands to
create SNMP sessions. Note, 3.0.0 is not final and there might be
additional changes wrt. the session options and the way event details
are propagated. (The % substitutions, an idea stolen from Tk, are a
real bad thing. They prevent code from being compiled and they can
easily cause serious programming errors which may even lead to
security problems. So I am considering to get rid of it in the next
3.0.0 snapshot.)
