Are you sure rint is not anywhere on your system? And what about floor
in its different incarnations? Rint definition is both in SGI
(SystemV-ish) and Suns (bsd-ish). It's not in Borland's,
however. Floor is in all of them. Trouble might lay on the definition,
which should be 

double rint(double x);

Does that happen with all your programs, or just with Swarm?

Raster is not a Tcl/Tk object, but rather an X object. Which gives a
non-consistent behavior for widgets, but that's how it is. Maybe a
function for changing it's color could be OK?

Once again, a raster is not a tcl/tk object.

    Rick> Can anyone tell me why what I am trying is silly?

It's not, it's just that X and Tcl/TK objects are not as seamlessly
integrated as they should.

Well, there is a canvas object made by me somewhere, which has not
been integrated yet. In the future, it could do some things like that:
a basic drawing raster, plus buttons and whatnots.
