[Tkinter-discuss] tkSnack

[Chris Maddison]

I got it to work. You were right there was something wrong with the  
architecture. As it turns out ActiveTcl 8.5.2 has an outdated PPC  
snack2.2. On top of that the snack2.2.10 installer script puts the  
files in the wrong place. It took a little shuffling. Perhaps I will  
have to warn ActiveState about that.

Thanks a lot!
