That's not always true for Linux systems. AFAIK, all Linux installs include Python (of some version or other), but they don't always include tcl/tk and tkinter. It's usually easy enough to add them, but but they're not really part of the "standard library" if they have to be separately intsalled. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Uh-oh!!
