I found a darwin-patch for tcl 8.3.1 in www.darwinfo.org. In
http://mrcla.com/XonX/headersBeta.html  you can find how to update the mac os
x  headers and development tools from  darwin's cvs.   Mr. Fink  at
http://fink.sourceforge.net/ is porting Gnome and has many  porting-tips and
he is working on -ld  compability for darwin.

I have an old Imac and I use almost only linux. I write with LyX, write Java
code wiht Simplicity for Java, use emacs to promgram  Prolog and to search
acient greek texts in TLG, and I use  Swarm also. That is all what I need, and
mozilla of course. I dont like  linux  only because  the kernel; the open
source software is more important for me. Darwin is also  open source and will
have better drivers than linux for the mac. On darwin  one can run Aqua and
Gnome. I mean, it is better to have two desktops than two operating systems
and to have to reboot 6 times at day.
