Tcl, AI and IRIX
================

I have  asked one  undisclosed AI  to write a  simple CAD-like  tool in
Tcl/Tk. Well, after  several tries I now  have a cute tiny  app to make
lines, arcs and circles (and basic dimensioning!) which has been writen
in pure Tcl/Tk 8.0. And it is very fast even on the 33 MHz MIPS CPU.

It  wasn't easy  but still  easier than  write the  code in  this nasty
language with all its brackets.

It actually works on  the IRIX 6.5 (on my SGI O2) but  I also wanted it
to run on the older SGI machines like the SGI Indigo (with the IRIX 5.3
as the most moder OS available there).

Well, I checked for the Tcl/Tk 8.0 compatibility many times.

BUT I FORGOT THAT THE IRIX 5.3 CAN RUN THE TCL 7.4 ONLY!

Actually, the  code works there  but does not  save files (it  uses too
modern command for that). So it's now like demo there!

My fault...
