I used the one you sent me, 5.1 I think in order to try to have a package as close to the one you used as possible.

I'll probably try 5.4 shortly.

I ran newlisp_6314_win-tk-072 and newlisp_6523_win-tk-092 from sourceforge (earliest and next to latest) apparently with no difficulties. Since newlisp-tk 7 runs on my system after rewrapping, I think there must merely be some minor problem in the wrapped version of your distribution. But of course ...

I have finally succeeded in wrapping the packages, apparently successfully, and newlisp-tk seems to be working properly and displaying windows on command. I haven't yet set this up as you describe with everything to be wrapped put in a top level directory. I used a lower level directory and absolute...

I've got the wrapping to the point that the newlisp tcl is starting to execute but I don't have the directory structure and file references correct so as soon as it tries to load the first image (openImg c. line 300) the wish console complains that it can't find /freewrap/images. It isn't clear to m...

Something of a mystery about the compression. I downloaded the zlib file that freewrap recommends at the same time and encountered no problems. I used PowerArchiver (used to be freeware) and Debian gzip and tar which refuse to recognise the file. However, to return to newlisp. Your version of freewr...

I installed active state on the Windows 98 computer and it seems to be functioning perfectly well. I also tried to look at the freewrap from sourceforge but I can't unzip it on either Windows or Linux!! Makes one wonder if they know what they're doing. Yours decompresses but I haven't yet looked at ...

non functioning on Windows 2000

I hate to reraise silly questions, but I've finally been looking briefly through the source and it looks to me as though newlisp requires a tcl/tk installation like the activestate binaries or some other compilation. I still haven't found a definition of the lisp function tk but have just started to...

non functioning on Windows 2000

I've been able to try newlisp on a Windows 98 second edition system with a single partition and unfortunately the behaviour seems identical to that on my W2000.
I'm afraid this seems to require looking at the code but to judge from the Forum activity it's certainly working on some systems.

non functioning on Windows 2000

Sorry about the registry error - the entries seem to all be Windows house keeping, internet links, etc. Generally I prefer not having the Windows installation used, in case your taking a user (or non-user survey). There is a former installation of the active state tcl/tk on the system but it was a p...

non functioning on Windows 2000

that's the file that was used - I was looking for version information through the Windows property page.

Is there some way to get uninstall/install information - it seems to have made registry changes?

non functioning on Windows 2000

You have a correct description of the start-up failure. Pinging works. Being connected to the internet makes no difference to the non-functionality so far as I can see. The computer is an antiquated desktop (NEC package), pentium II, 350MHz, no ethernet, v90 modem. The newlisp was downloaded a few d...

non functioning on Windows 2000

I'm afraid there is still no indication of newlisp-tk functioning other than a little disc activity. Nothing in the task manager. The config file follows: # newlisp-tk.config - newLISP Tcl/Tk configuration file # # This file is generated by menu "Options/Save settings" # set Ide(HelpProgram) "d:/Pro...

non functioning on Windows 2000

I've just installed newlisp on a Windows 2000 system and the gui version does nothing when run (console version seems to work). Are you certain you don't need the activestate implemenatation of tcl/tk? It's considerably larger than the supplied .exe. [Windows 2000 is installed on drive D, primary pa...
