What is needed to run Addressbook?
Addressbook is based on Tcl/Tk, so you need a machine where Tcl/Tk is running. For most Unix like machines, Tcl/Tk is available. This program runs as well under the old version tcl7.3/tk3.6 and the actual version tcl7.4 / tk4.0. If you don't have tcl/tk yet, please get the new version, as the support for tk3.6 might be removed in future versions.
To check, if you already have Tcl/Tk, try to find 'wish', the Tcl/Tk interpreter used. (like 'which wish' or 'type wish'). If you use Linux, the Tcl/Tk included in slackware works fine. This program is tested under:
