Hey guys,
 
I found the problem with using Tcl/Tk 7.6/4.2.
Unfortunately, it doesn't fix the raster refresh problem
(when occluding the raster with another window, it doesn't
redraw). So, back to the drawing board on that one. But, if
you want to use Tcl/Tk 7.6/4.2 with Swarm, all you need do
is recompile libtclobjc, BLT2.1, and Swarm with Tcl/Tk
7.6/4.2 *after* making the following changes to BLT (you
can cut this diff out and do a patch < thesediffsinafile, if
you want):

As for the raster refreshment.... I'll keep looking. [sigh]
