Sounds like a bargain for $4.00 though it may be woefully out of date.
The current version of Tcl is 8.0

No, 1.0.4 is NOT the NT version, it simply contains various changes and fixes.
        Ken's additions to InFile and XColorMap, 
        Manor's mods to NodeItem.m,
        Sven's AppendFile and reverse QSort.
        Dwight's safe probes
        Probe and control panel positioning
        Print format in probes 
        Changes to seeds in random.m
        Raster int in Tkobj.c
        Raster unset color in Tkobj.c

1.1 will be the NT version. It is expected before the end of year.
