tcltkgrass is deprecated, use ‘gis.m’.

Dear Moritz
Many thanks for the quick reply - and for your excellent tutorial, which I am finding most helpful.
Your suggested remedy, that of using gis.m, is unfortunately not working for me.
There is no error message, just nothing at all.
Perhaps I should have mentioned that, when I first start Grass, I get two error messages.
They are
sh: clear: command not found
/usr/local/grass-6.2.3/etc/Init.sh: line 635: tput: command not found
I have had a look in Init.sh and the bad line reads ‘tput clear’.
Without asking you to spend a lot of time on the matter, could you briefly suggest something else that I might try?
Is there something that I have failed to download?
Again, my thanks.

tcltkgrass is deprecated, use 'gis.m'.

ncurses ?

Any special reason why you want to use the cygwin version ? The native windows versions have become pretty good by now.

You can get the latest here:
