ruby--ruby/ext/tk/lib/tkextlib/SUPPORT_STATUS

  [ current support status of Tcl/Tk extensions ]

The following list shows *CURRENT* status when this file was modifyed
at last. If you want to add other Tcl/Tk extensions to the planed list
(or change its status position), please request them at the ruby-talk,
ruby-list, or ruby-dev ML. Although we cannot promise to support your 
requests, we'll try to do. 

If you want to check that wrapper libraries are ready to use on your 
environment, please execute 'pkg_checker.rb' with no arguments. The 
script may give you some hints about that.


  ***** IMPORTANT NOTE **********************************************

    'support' means that Ruby/Tk's wrapper libraries are released. 
    'not support' does *NOT* mean that the extension doesn't work
    on Ruby/Tk. 

    Even if the status of the extension is 'not support', you can 
    control the functions/widgets of the extension without wrapper 
    libraries by Tk.tk_call(), Tk.ip_eval(), and so on. 

    If you cannot use installed Tcl/Tk extension, please check the 
    followings. 

     (1) On your Tcl/Tk, does the extention work?

     (2) Do DLL libraries of the extension exist on DLL load-path?
         (See also "<ruby archive>/ext/tcltklib/README.ActiveTcl")

     (3) Is the Tcl library directory of the extension included in 
         library search-path of the Tcl interpreter linked Ruby/Tk?

    The check results may request you to do some setup operations 
    before using the extension. If so, then please write the step 
    of setup oprations into the "setup.rb" file in the directory 
    of the wrapper libraries for the extention (It is the wrapper
    libraries have the standard structure of the libraries in this 
    directory). The "setup" file is required before requiring the 
    Tcl library package (TkPackage.require(<libname>)).
