Tcl/Tk 8.3.3 binary distribution for Windows NT on Alpha
--------------------------------------------------------

The file tcltk833-alphant.zip contains a binary distribution of Tcl/Tk
compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 for Windows NT running on a
DEC/Compaq Alpha system.  The libraries in this distribution were built
with the /LINK50COMPAT switch, which should enable them to be linked
against using the Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 compiler.

The Readme.txt file in this directory is a file distributed by
Scriptics/Ajuba with binary distributions of Tcl/Tk for Windows platforms
on Intel x86 architectures.  It is included for its valuable introductory
material and URLs.  Its contents may not be 100% accurate on the Alpha
platform.  

To install:

1. Select a directory on your system in which to install Tcl/Tk ( for
   example, C:\Program Files).  Unzip the file tcltk833-alphant.zip in 
   that directory, taking care to preserve directory structure.  A 
   subdirectory 'Tcl' is generated containing the Tcl/Tk package.  It
   also contains this file.

2. In the subdirectory 'Tcl' (this directory), type:

	bin\tclsh83 install.tcl

   This will set up file extension associations just as the installer
   program from Ajuba did for Windows installations on Intel x86 platforms.

3. If you decide to uninstall this distribution of Tcl/Tk, first run
   the uninstall script in this directory:

	bin\tclsh83 uninstall.tcl

   This will clean up the file association changes.  
   Then delete this directory and all its contents.
