Re: EMC on a 386 and a remote TkEMC under Win98?

["Steve Carlisle" <quatsein-at-island.net>]

I have not run the Tcl/EMC files on Windows, but I would think the Tcl/EMC
code that is written for Linux should run under Tcl/Windows as the
code should be portable. Pull the Tcl source from the EMC distribution
and try it on your windows machine, the GUI should at least come up.

I found that and installed it, no problem. The problem was building the
TkEmc gui for linux in win98. Which I guess is what TkEmc.exe is about. I
can't get that.
