Quick Guide - How to run TKCVS on Windows XP.

I have received a few queries about running TKCVS on Windows XP so
here is a quick guide to preparing the XP environment.

1.	Install CVSNT client.

CVS NT is available from http://www.cvsnt.org.  The client component
installs the CVS windows native command line environment utilized by
TKCVS.

2.	Install Active State Tcl Run Time.

Available from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl/.

3.	Install Microsoft services for unix.

Available from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/default.asp.
Supported by Microsoft, preferred by Corporates and free.  Install the
unix command line component.  Provides unix command capability from
the windows command shell.  E.G. supplies diff.exe.

4.	Install TKCVS.

Install latest version of TKCVS.
Create desktop and start button shortcuts.

The working directory and module browser icons do not display properly
under XP.  I changed the working directory icon as follows.

Navigate to TKCVS install dir C:\TKCVS72\lib\tkcvs\bitmaps\.

Convert ticklefish_med.gif to ticklefish_med.ico.

package require Tk
package require Img
image create photo img -file ticklefish_med.gif
img write ticklefish_med.ico -format ico

Navigate to C:\TKCVS72\lib\tkcvs\workdir.tcl

Edit line 36:      wm iconbitmap .workdir
C:/TKCVS72/lib/tkcvs/bitmaps/ticklefish_med.ico

Working directory browser now displays with fish icon.
