It's documented that in newer versions of Perl PL_na should be used instead of na. Newer Tk distributions know that and compile successfully, and you should use them for newer versions of Perl. I compiled Tk800.019 with BC++5.2 with almost no problems . (I did 3 small modifications to platform-specific source code to pass compile, and that was a good exercise to the reader :) All tests for Tk passed ok. Good luck, VadmiThread Previous
