- These are not specific to Sun 386i:
-
- - tk3.0/Makefile wants to install wish as /usr/local/wish. The superior
- place to install `local' things is /usr/local/bin!
-
- - After cp'ing the .a files it doesn't ranlib them.
-
- The biggie though is this sequence (which isn't discovered by the tests):
-
- boomer# tclTest
- % set blue 0
- 0
- % set min 0.0
- 0.0
- % if {$blue < $min} { set min $blue.0 }
- Error: floating-point value "0.0" too small to represent
- %
-
- I discovered this while trying to get tcolor to run. This sequence is
- in rgbToHsv{} when red=65535 green=0 blue=0. The error comes from
- tclExpr.c right after a strtod() which made errno == ERANGE. The
- string passed to strtod() *is* "0.0", BTW.

- <- During the '80s Usenet's mantra was: "Not all the world's a VAX".
- <- During the '90s I hope it becomes: "Not all the world's DOS (ick)".
