Hi Markus.
Thanks for the help.
Sorry your version of Tcl/Tk is 7.6 and is too old for GRASS.
GRASS requires a TCL/TK version of 8.0 or more.
Reverting back to text mode interface.
Please report this error to the Grass developers
Switching to text mode
it says: your version of Tcl/Tk is 7.6 and is too old for GRASS. GRASS
requires a TCL/TK version of 8.0 or more.
-> update tcl/tk libraries (see REQUIREMENTS for URL)
Yes I knew that, but I figured they must have asked to be notified for some
deeper reason. I think I should have followed my first instinct to ignore
this! Maybe the script should be changed so that it doesn't ask users to
report to the Grass developers.
" NOTES
In fact, the r.reclass program does not generate any new raster map
layers
(in the interests of disk space conservation). Instead, a reclass table is
>stored which will be used to reclassify the original raster map layer each
>time the new (reclassed) map name is requested.
>..."
There you find more explanations.
If someone has the Framemaker source to the tutorial that was used to
generate the postscript, maybe I could rewrite the examples in that chapter
(5) so that they work correctly for Grass 5.
Alternatively I'll write note showing what needs to be done for Grass 5.
Hope this helps,
It did,
Mike Thomas.

The suggestion to inform the Grass developers was put in the script in
case the Tcl/Tk script failed. Thus, it would be printed for any error
of the Tcl/Tk script, not just the Tcl/Tk version error. Perhaps I
should change the message to indicate something like:
If you do not understand this error, please notify the Grass developers.
Thank you for your comments.

Hi Mike & Justin,
maybe the report message should be completely removed as it is quite
clear (and to reduce mail traffic). What about this:
Sorry your version of Tcl/Tk libraries is 7.6 and is too old for GRASS.
GRASS requires a TCL/TK libraries version of 8.0 or later.
Reverting default settings back to GRASS text mode interface.
Switching to text mode now
This is the slightly modified original text. Especially "libraries"
should me mentioned. Then it should be clear.
Yours
Markus

Not a very useful message. Currently, we do not check for any other
errors in the script but I at least wanted to have users contact the
developers if an error occured that was not expected. Also, we may add
other error checking in the future. Anyway, it doesn't really matter.
I'll remove if you think it is confusing. Perhaps we can change it to
An error occured in the Tcl/Tk script.
Switching to text mode now.
Let me know what you decide and I'll change it appropriately.

Aha, I see. So no (easy!) way to distinct between the version error
and other tcl/tk errors?

Well, the version message is quite useful. In this case we should
keep the message as is (perhaps adding "libraries" to be very clear
here for newcomers).

We could use the error code, but if the script fails due to a system
error we don't know what that error code is. Thus, it is difficult to
guarantee a unique error code.

I changed the message to read as follows:
