Problem with Tcl/tk release 20060202-1


I encountered the problem described in the "Exec and parent environment"
email thread concerning the passing of environmental variables in tcl
shells. I downloaded the experimental tcl/tk library version 20060202-1 (per
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-02/msg00090.html) as evident by the
timestamp on the files
 
 
-rwxr-x---+ 1 dmeyer mkgroup_l_d 181760 Feb  8 14:25 tcl3270.exe
-rwxr-x---+ 1 dmeyer mkgroup_l_d 656896 Feb  2 13:35 tcl84.dll
-rwxr-x---+ 1 dmeyer mkgroup_l_d   5120 Feb  2 13:35 tclpip84.dll
lrwxrwxrwx  1 dmeyer mkgroup_l_d     11 Feb 15 09:46 tclsh.exe ->
tclsh84.exe
-rwxr-x---+ 1 dmeyer mkgroup_l_d   9728 Feb  2 13:35 tclsh84.exe

 
 
when running the simple tcl file tmp.tcl, I get the following response
 
klein:~/dev1/hw/1xrtt_crane/if9/tests> tmp.tcl
klein:~/dev1/hw/1xrtt_crane/if9/tests> /usr/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open
display: 
/usr/bin/xterm:  DISPLAY is not set
 
 
 
the contents of tmp.tcl are as follows:
 
#!/bin/tclsh
exec xterm -geometry 100x40 -sb -sl 1000 -e tail -n 50 -f --retry
./logs/tmp.log &;  
exit
 
 
 
I then generated a tclsh.exe file per
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-02/msg00068.html  and that executable
works fine. 
 
 
My questions are
- Has anyone else experienced this? 
- Should I have downloaded more than just the TCL/TK library experimental
release?
 
 
If there is any information needed from me to further understand this issue,
please let me know. Thanks.
