The tcl82.lib file (generated from tcl82.dll) is a microsoft compatible lib 
file

do this

implib -a tcl82.lib tcl82.dll

in your tcl/bin (where tcl82.dll is) directory and then copy the new lib 
file over that from the vtk/pcmaker install. This somewhat assumes you've 
got implib handy (you mention downloading a compiler, you mean the BCC 
command line one? does it have implib packaged in?)

Anyway, your tiresome labours are not over. Last time I tried, the borland 
make failed using pcmaker. But that was a long time ago. if it does fail. 
Wait a few days and I'm putting a Borland pcmaker type thing out. I'll post 
to the list when its available.
