- NOTES 10/14/93 -- Alpha 5.56
-
- ===========================================================================
- = A word on installation... IMPORTANT!
- ===========================================================================
-
- Tcl was originally written for unix-like systems. These systems typically
- do not have many special characters in their file names. Initially, tcl
- refused to work even w/ pathnames that contain spaces. The Tcl source
- itself works fine w/ these names, but tcl scripts have to be careful in how
- the names are manipulated. This problem gets even worse if the filename
- contains square brackets ('[' and ']'), curly braces, or other
- non-alphanumeric characters. I've fixed all the scripts that I've found
- choke on pathnames w/ spaces, but many of them still don't work w/ square
- brackets.

- ===========================================================================
- THINK C 6.0
- ===========================================================================
- Version 5.5 adds support for Think's "external editor". Think's interface
- is not all there. In particular, while using an external editor there is
- no was to tell the debugger to specify a specific location in a file from
- the external editor. You can tell it to go to the beginning of a specific
- file by selecting it in the project window and selecting "Go to
- Debugger.". Symantec has promised fixes, but probably not until 6.0.2.

- INTERNATIONAL USERS
- ===========================================================================
- Remember, if you want to use anything other than the US KCHR resource
- (si vous voulez ecrire en francais, par exemple), change the line:
-
- init 0 2
-
- of :Tcl:SystemCode:AlphaBits.tcl to
-
- init1 2
-
- and restart. Alpha will now use your native KCHR, but the key binding labels
- (such as F1 etc.) may not work, and option-e etc. are now "dead keys".
-
- By default, the option key is used as a META key, duplicating escape
- key sequences. To use the option key to create option characacter
- combinations, change the line:
-
- set optionIsMeta 1
-
- to:
-
- set optionIsMeta 0
