Re: tkbackplot - no output

Hi Jack

Due to the way the directoies are structured and the use of symbolic links, 
emc/plat/nonrealtime and emc/plat/linux_2_2_18 are both the same - And so on 
for any subdirectories.

The file you need to refer to is emc/tcl/scripts/tkbackplot.tcl - Copying 
this with

mv -f /usr/local/emc/tcl/scripts/tkbackplot.tcl 
/usr/local/emc/plat/nonrealtime/bin/tkbackplot

(this should be all on one line). I would strongly recommend making a backup 
of the backplotter program in nonrealtime/bin before overwriting it.

Regards, Paul.
