TclTkGRASS 2.5 released

Hi again,

TclTKGRASS 2.5 - the platform independent graphical user
interface for GRASS is released:

http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/main_tclgrass.html
(on the mirrors soon)

We all have to thank Jacques Bouchard for his big job on
the user interface!
The software is tested on SUN/SGI/Linux.

   Important, when *updating*: You have to remove former
              versions and the startscript link in
              /usr/local/bin

So, what's new:
- bug fixes, several new modules integrated in menus
- improved structure
- new installation procedure (with "make")
   the "tcltkgrass" directory can be put anywhere
- "tcltkgrass" must now be launched from the GRASS shell
   (as the TCL/TK shell was not very pleasant to use);
   GRASS and TCLTKGRASS can be used at the same time
- new "Config" menu
       + several monitors can be started / stopped with one action
       + global management of module windows
       + font selection
       + default driver geometry can be set
- the monitors geometry is saved / restored
   (unfortunately, this is known to be bugged on SGI IRIX)
- the active monitor is now erased after region operations

Have fun

  Jacques Bouchard & Markus Neteler

Installation painless, trivial, and entirely successful. The
modifications from the previous version correct some annoying problems.
Thanks, and please continue the good work.

Comment to the new TclTkGRASS 2.5:
Instalation on LRH 5.1 /2.0.35/, GRASS4.2.1 v.19 without
any problems.
