According to the changes file, the code supported it up to 8.4, though
I don't know to what extent it worked. You're unlikely to get us to
resurrect support in the 8.5 or 8.6 lines. :-)

You'll probably need to build from source, though the code we've got
remains up on Tcl's SourceForge download area. I know nothing about
building on Mac OS 9.

He works for Apple now.

Try the SF site:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/

Looking under the release for 8.3.4, I see a TclTkRuntimeInstall.bin
package, which I believe is for Classic MacOS.

If you build it yourself, you're probably going to have to use
CodeWarrior, as gcc didn't support the old MacOS.

Remember, too, that this architecture has been fundamentally unsupported
for a decade.

Yea, I picked up a Mint Apple G3 350 MHz with OS 9.2.2 for $80 so I
thought I would give it a spin. If I run tcl shell/console that runs
fine, but anything under Tk causes the MacOS 9 screen to freeze up and
only the mouse pointer will move. I just wanted to check out some tk
applications under OS 9 for old times sake.
It is amazing that some people bought a $1,200 computer ten years ago,
ran it a few weeks, then boxed it in the attic for ten years forgetting
about it until they moved.
