I just downloaded Tcl/Tk version 8.5.8.1
It has a lot of packages and the help file lists IWidgets too.
But when I give the command,
package require IWidgets
It gives an error.

Also, the demo Tk apps shipped with it does not have any demo of
IWidgets.
Whats wrong here?

In addition, there is now a "demos" package in the teapot that brings
in several demos beyond the core Tk ones. Just do 'teacup install
demos'.

Hello Jeff,

I tried 'teacup install demos' but teacup tells me

Resolving demos ... Not found in the archives. Note: Names are case-
sensitive.


Aborting installation, was not able to locate the requested
entity.

Searching for the demos package I get:

I guess I would need to specify the profile to get this demos.
However, do there exist demos for 8.5 as well?

There are no additional demos in 8.5, just get the 8.4 package.
