Tcl/Tk 8.3.1 binary distribution for Windows NT on Alpha
--------------------------------------------------------

The file tcltk831-alphant.zip contains a binary distribution of Tcl/Tk
compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 for Windows NT running on a
DEC Alpha system.  The Readme.txt file in this directory is a file
distributed by Scriptics/Ajuba with binary distribution of Tcl/Tk
for Windows platforms on Intel x86 architectures.  It is included for
its valuable introductory material and URLs.  Its contents may not be
100% accurate on the Alpha platform.  

To install:

1. Select a directory on your system in which to install Tcl/Tk ( for
   example, C:\Program Files).  Unzip the file tcltk831-alphant.zip in 
   that directory, taking care to preserve directory structure.  A 
   subdirectory 'Tcl' is generated containing the Tcl/Tk package.  It
   also contains this file.

2. In the subdirectory 'Tcl' (this directory), type:

	bin\tclsh83 install.tcl

   This will add entries to your Windows registry, and set up file
   extension associations just as the installer program from Scriptics does 
   for Windows installations on Intel x86 platforms.

3. If you decide to uninstall this distribution of Tcl/Tk, first run
   the uninstall script in this directory:

	bin\tclsh83 uninstall.tcl

   This will clean up the Windows registry and file association changes.  
   Then delete this directory and all its contents.
