This is release 3.1 of theObjects, a prototype-based object extension
for Tcl 7.3/Tk 3.6. More widgets have been added. I did some cleanup on
the code, and there is (some) **documentation** now. You'll find all README
files and the documentation in the "doc" subdirectory of the release.

The application initializer function is called theObjects_Init(). If you
build a wish, be sure to include the following lines:

    if (theObjects_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR) {
        return TCL_ERROR;
    }

Build the package in the root directory of theObjects:

    make -f MMakefile

(We use a different make program here, so the files are called MMakefile.)
This will create a library libtheObjects.a which needs to be included in the
new wish.

    make -f MMakefile install \
	SHARE_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib \
	ARCH_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib

This will install the package in /usr/local/lib. After building the new
wish, try the following:

   /usr/local/lib/theObjects/init.tcl

This should give you a demo of the available widgets.

If you download the package please let me know (feedback, comments,
problems, bugs, flames, etc.). You can reach me by e-mail as

Happy experimenting,
