Aha!  Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen, Mike.  Having more than one
version of tk*.dll or tcl*.dll anywhere in your entire *city* is like
putting a male brain-eater in your left ear and a female brain-eater in your
right ear at the peak of brain-eater mating season, then betting you can
keep them apart by force of moral suasion.  You should reformat your drives
and reinstall NT to be *sure* <wink>, but before that try uninstalling every
Tcl/Tk you have, "dir/s" your drives from the roots to make sure nothing
matching tk*.dll or tcl*.dll survived, uninstall Python, and reinstall
Python with the One True Tcl/Tk that comes with it.
