There's a fork named "sk1" that's still somewhat active, but it's got its own problem. Most notably, there's no batch-mode export. There's a program called "uniconvertor" that supposedly uses the sk1 engine to convert between various vector graphics files, but it can't even read an sk1 file. > BTW, I have the exact same problem with skencil. Apparently skencil is not compatible with tk 8.5. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! ... I want to perform at cranial activities with gmail.com Tuesday Weld!!
