| 93 | Questions</H2> |
|---|
| 94 | 1. Can I use a different version of Tcl/Tk than the one here? |
|---|
| 95 | <UL>Yes -- but: you will need both Tcl/Tk and the Winexec package (see |
|---|
| 96 | http://www.du.edu/~mschwart/tcl-tk.htm) for the GUI to work. Further, |
|---|
| 97 | several utility routines (liveplot and widplt) |
|---|
| 98 | require the BLT package to be properly configured as a loadable |
|---|
| 99 | package to run. If you care what vintage of Tcl/Tk you are using, you are |
|---|
| 100 | obviously a "power user" so take a look at the pkgIndex.tcl files and fix |
|---|
| 101 | your version appropriately. |
|---|
| 102 | <BR> </UL> |
|---|
| 103 | 2. Do I need to modify the PATH, etc in my AUTOEXEC.BAT file? |
|---|
| 104 | <UL>Only if you will use the PC-GSAS or GSAS.BAT menu programs as well. |
|---|
| 105 | If so, do the following (from the GSAS readme file): |
|---|
| 106 | <BR> |
|---|
| 107 | <UL><TT>5. Modify the PATH statement in your autoexec.bat file to add C:\GSAS\EXE |
|---|
| 108 | to the path (or whatever disk letter you choose for \GSAS)</TT> |
|---|
| 109 | |
|---|
| 110 | <P><TT>6. Add the statement "SET GSAS=C:\GSAS" (again pick the appropriate |
|---|
| 111 | drive letter) to your auto exec.bat file.</TT> |
|---|
| 112 | |
|---|
| 113 | <P><TT>7. Add the statement "SET PGPLOT_FONT=C:\GSAS\FONTS\GRFONT.DAT"</TT> |
|---|
| 114 | |
|---|
| 115 | <P><TT>8. Make sure you have sufficient environment space for these additions |
|---|
| 116 | and two more that are done by gsas.bat each time you run gsas.</TT></UL> |
|---|
| 117 | </UL> |
|---|
| 118 | 3. What versions of Windows can I use? |
|---|
| 119 | <UL>This package has gotten some testing under Win95 and WinNT v4.0. |
|---|
| 120 | My limited experience to Win98 seems to show that EXPGUI seems to |
|---|
| 121 | run OK there. |
|---|
| 122 | I would not expect this to run under Win32s on Win3.1. |
|---|
| 123 | </UL> |

|---|
| 128 | Khan</A> and the Winexec package, which is needed to allow Tcl/Tk to run |
