Still No Answer

[Tom G. Smith]

I believe tcl8.3 is incompatible with vtk3.1.  I queried Kitware
some time ago.  There response was, "The recommended version of
tcl/tk for VTK 3.1 is 8.2.3 (we don't know if it works with 8.3 -
we haven't tried it yet)."  Going back to Tcl 8.2.3 solved my
vtk 3.1 installation woes.
