This is all in the impending documentation. [grin] But, since you
forced the issue....
BLT 2.3 sorta works with Swarm. It *fixes* the problem we were
having with Tcl/Tk 7.6/4.2. I.e. you don't need the patch to
get rid of tcl_createpipeline, if you use BLT 2.3.
However, the configure command has apparently changed and I'm
seeing the BLT_ZoomStack error. I haven't figured out what the
incompatibility is, yet. But, the problems don't seem to be
fatal.
Also, there seems to be a new option to put big fat dots on the
line graphs where the actual data points are. This is ok; but, it's
a little annoying. I'm sure one can turn it off.
Otherwise, feel free to use BLT 2.3.
The libtclobjc-1.1b7 only has some changes to make the library
work on the DEC Alpha, with the ObjC patch for GCC submitted by
John Eikenberry on Feb 18, 1997. I still haven't tested this
change.
So, it's probably not necessary to upgrade to 1.1b7, especially
since we're moving to a Java GUI pretty soon, anyway.
