Hans is the Mac guy. If you can provide 
any sort of error messages that you are getting, I am sure he 
would appreciate it. Also, if you have a Xconq.Warnings (or 
similarly named file), you might want to check out its contents.

Go for it.   Or, if you are using the native Mac app, you could 
try the MacTCL app instead.

I use network games on the same machine with the X11 Tcl/Tk app 
on a regular basis.

I think Hans has the native Mac app working all the way back to OS 
8.6, so you should be safe, if you wanted to attempt that.

  Good luck,
