Dear all,

just a suggestion. What about providing this information in a directory
structure of the swarm download page.

For example:

dir:            Swarm-1.0.5-Generic-Unix-X11
contents:       swarm-1.0.5
(file or sym    Tcl.7.6
link)           Tk.4.2
                BLT.2.3
                tclobjc.1.2b

I reckon that would help avoid a lot of installation problems, especially
for new users who haven't read the mailing list for a long time and for
all of us who remember that there was once a message on that topic but
can't find it. 

Cheers,

Jan.
