For Linux Platform users
----------------------------

Please first read the general readme file which applies to you too.

Versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, were maintained separately for windows and Linux.
This has proved to be too complicated and time consuming and will no longer.

The only differnces were related to:
1. Fonts: Windows and Linux use different names and fonts.
2. Transient toplevels: sometimes it is impossible to get rid of a transient
   toplevel under Linux (in case that some error occured).
3. CR/LF/CRLF in text files. Some shells will not run a script if it is
   a dos/windows text file (that means it was prepared under dos or win95 and
   was imported to Linux, like many of th tkpaint files).

Starting at version 1.3, I am maintaining only the Win95/NT version but
have made all efforts to include platform independent code that solve all
the above problems, so this package should run on Linux with no problem.
However, I did very little testing on Linux. It looks good, but
if you experience any problems please let me know.

The only problems that may arrise are with the demo files (demo1.pic,...,
demo4.pic), that were created under Win95 and use many Win95 fonts that are not
recognized under Linux. It is possible to edit those files
and pick differnt fonts (very easy to do).
However if this will be the only problem, I will be very happy with it.

If you stamble uppon a dos/win95 text file that makes trouble under Linux,
try to convert it to a Unix file via some of the many conversion utilities
(or try the unix command: tr -d '\015' < input-file > output-file).
