-2. What's new?
--------------
-
-All the widgets will now display internationalized text!
-
-The widget configuration package has been changed to support the new object
-model introduced with the 8.0 compiler.  For now the old configuration
-package is retained, and in fact, only the menu and button widgets use
-the new package.

 3. Mac specific features
 ------------------------
 
 There are several features or enhancements in Tk that are unique to 
-the Macintosh version of Tk.  Here is a list of those features and
-pointers to where you can find more information about the feature.
-
-* The menu command has special rules for accessing the Macintosh
-  Apple and Help menus.  See the menu.m man page for details.
-
-* If you have the special Tcl function "tkAboutDialog" defined, it
-  will be called instead of displaying the default About Box in the
-  console or other parts of the Wish application.  See below for
-  details.
-
-* In addition to the standard X cursors, the Mac version of Tk will
-  let you use any Mac cursor that is named and installed in your
-  application.  See the GetCursor.3 man page for details.
-
-* The wish application has a couple of hooks to know about the exit,
-  "open document" and "Do Script"  Mac High Level events.  
-  See below for details.
-
-* The command unsupported1 will allow you to set the style of new
-  toplevel windows on the Macintosh.  It is not really supported.
-  See below for details.
-
-* In addition to the standard built-in bitmaps that Tk supports, the
-  Mac version of Tk allows you to use several Mac specific icons.  See
-  the GetBitmap.3 man page for a complete list.
-
-* The send command works among interpreters in the same application.  We hope to
-  have the complete implementation available in Tk 8.1.
-
-* The -use and -container options almost work. The focus bugs that
-  were in Tk8.0 final have been fixed.  But there are still some
-  known bugs that cause some major problems.  Be careful, if you
-  decide to use these features.  (See bugs.doc for details.)

-5. Documentation
-----------------
-
-There are now many books available for Tcl.  These two provide a good
-introduction to the language.  It is a good way to get started
-if you haven't used the language before:

-The "doc" subdirectory contains reference in documentation
-in the "man" format found on most UNIX machines.  Unfortunately,
-there is not a suitable way to view these pages on the Macintosh.  
-A version suitable for viewing on the Macintosh has yet to be
-developed.  We are working are having better documentation for
-the Macintosh platform in the future.  However, if you have WWW 
-access you may access the Man pages at the following URL:

-Other documentation and sample Tcl scripts can be found at

-7. About Dialog
----------------
-
-The prefered method for replacing the about dialog is to replace the
-main menubar of the application, using the -menu option for the "."
-window.  Then add a cascade called .mainMenu.apple to your mainMenu,
-and you can put an about item in here WITH YOUR OWN LABEL!
-
-8. Apple Events
----------------
-
-Tcl/Tk currently doesn't have much in the way of support for Mac
-Apple Events.  There is no way to send an apple event (although you
-could write an extension to do this) and no general purpose way to
-recieve apple events.  However, there are a couple of hooks for
-dealing with some of the standard apple events.
-
-    exit - Generally, Tcl cleans up after it self when you exit.
-	However, your application may want to do application specifc
-	cleanup like saving a users data.  To do this you can rename
-	the exit command to something else.  Define your own exit
-	command to do whatever clean up you like and then call the
-	origional exit command.  For example,
-
-		rename exit __exit
-		proc exit {} {
-		  # Do your clean up hear
-		  __exit
-		}
-
-	Both incoming quit events and hitting the Quit menu item
-	will call the exit command.  However, don't expect you can
-	abort the exit.  Tk may exit anyway if the exit command it
-	calls does not actually quit the application.
-
-    open - The other apple event Tk supports is the open event.  The
-	open event is sent to Tk if, for example, you drop a file on
-	the Wish icon.  If you define a Tcl procedure with the name
-	"tkOpenDocument" it will be invoked on any Open Document
-	events that the application receives.  The a list of paths to
-	the various documents will be passed to the Tcl function.
-	Here is an example,
-
-		proc tkOpenDocument args {
-		  foreach file $args {
-		    # Deal with passed in file path
-		  }
-		}
-
-	Note: This isn't every thing you need to do to make your
-	application dropable.  You must still define a FREF resource
-	that makes sense for your application domain.  (Out of the
-	box, you will not be able to drop files on the Wish
-	application.  See the Inside Macintosh documentation for
-	details about the FREF resource.
-	
-    do script - This is a way for external applications to drive MacTk, or
-        to recieve information from it.  From AppleScript, you can say:
-        
-                tell application "Wish8.0"
-	            do script "console hide
-	                pack [button .b1 -text {Hello world} -command exit]"
-                end tell
-                
-        which will get Tk to run the canonical hello world application.
-                
-8. unsupported1
----------------
-
-The unsupported1 command is a short term hack we made available to
-allow you to set the window style of a new toplevel window.  It works 
-much like the "wm overrideredirect" and "wm transient" commands in
-that it must be run before the window it's being applied to is mapped.
-
-The syntax of the command is as follows:
-
-	unsupported1 style <window> ?style?
-
-The <window> must be a toplevel window.  If the style is not given
-then the current style for the window is returned.  If you want to set
-the style you must do so before the window gets mapped for the first
-time.  The possible window styles include:
-
-	documentProc, dBoxProc, plainDBox, altDBoxProc,
-	movableDBoxProc, zoomDocProc, rDocProc, floatProc,
-	floatZoomProc, floatSideProc, or floatSideZoomProc
-
-NOTE: this is an unsupported command and it WILL go away in the
-future.
