vtk 3.1 Win32 problems

[David Gobbi]

Hi Lisa,

I re-checked, and I am indeed running VTK 3.1, dated 2/21/2000.
I compiled the VTK 3.1 source, and there don't appear to be any
problems with the source.  These problems are exclusive to the 
Win32 binary installation on ftp://public.kitware.com.

I've done a little checking to clarify the problems with the
Win32 binaries.  They are as follows:

1) the examples in vtk31Tcl.exe are identical to the examples in
   with vtk24tcl.exe.

2) the vtkpython.dll in vtk31Python.exe does not match the vtkdll.dll
   in vtk31Core.exe, it looks like it wasn't re-built during the final
   vtk3.1 build because it had a preposterous time stamp.

 - David
