I'm sorry, the project is just a month old and just got usable recently, still a few of the commands are missing. I will try to improve the documentation and make a first release soon, maybe within a week. The interface differs from ruby-tk by not providing lots of aliases and using the C API of Tcl/Tk a lot more. You can take a look at the specs and examples to see how it is being used, usual apps don't need a lot of change to run on FFI::Tk. Thanks for the information. I haven't found any information on TkPath, is it shipped with tk, or do i need to compile anything to install it? > > -roger > > -- Michael Fellinger CTO, The Rubyists, LLC 972-996-5199
