Is it possible to grab the latest HEAD Tcl/Tk sources without having an
installed CVS client? If so, how, where?

Thanks,

Jeff

ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/nightly-cvs/ is a site maintained by
activestate that has the cvs head of various tcl related packages. Of
course, there's no guarantee that the cvs head of a package - even
like tcl - is going to compile . These are not release tars, but as
you mentioned, latest CVS HEADs.

Larry,

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. And, yes, I understand
the inherent dangers of working directly with the HEAD.
