Hi Angela,

That's a bit strange- I didn't include the tbcload package in either 
version. You either have to wrap the package yourself along with your 
tbc files into your application or tell VTKit where to find it on your 
hard drive [lappend auto_path /path/to/package/] . The former is a much 
better way on doing it.

Are you using SDX or TclDevKit to wrap the app? I could make some 
suggestions depending on which one you use.

I've started statically compiling tbcload into VTKit > 5.0 to avoid 
error messages like the one above. You dont have to worry about 
including the package yourself. I was waiting for the huge launch frenzy 
of the VTK5.0 release to upload that version... but it never came ;-)
