Installation Notes for Snack and Tcl/Tk

Snack for Windows 95/98/NT/2K

Snack requires that you first install Tcl/Tk (preferrably 8.3, but 8.0.3 and later are also possible).

Now install Snack in a similiar fashion using the appropriate self-extracting executable. Make sure you have the right one.

If you installed the Tcl distribution somewhere else than C:\Program Files\Tcl\, you will have to modify the install directory for Snack accordingly (default is C:\Program Files\Snack2.1\). See the FAQ if this does not work.

Test the distribution by selecting the menu Start->Snack 2.1 -> Widget Tour.

Snack for UNIX (stand alone and Netscape plug-in)

Installation instructions can be found in the README file of the distribution.

Snack browser plug-in add-on for Windows 95/98/NT

Note: you must use Netscape 4 or Internet Explorer 4, or later versions.

The Snack browser plug-in add-on requires that you first install the Tcl plug-in 2.0. Skip the tests if you like.

After installing the Tcl plug-in, run the self-extracting executable snackplug16.exe.

If you installed the Tcl plug-in somewhere else than C:\TclPlug\, you will have to modify the install directory for Snack accordingly (default is C:\TclPlug\2.0\Snack1.6). You can also use a later Snack version, just remember to use the binary release for Tcl8.0. Replace the library files by hand.

Restart your browser and test the plug-in on the using Snack on the web or examples of Snack web pages.
