Subject: Problem with shiptools.

I'm using Roger Burton's shiptools and I'm hoping he'll read this and offer
some help.

The text/value isn't visible in any of the fields with
"increase/decrease"
arrows on the right hand side. The program appears to operate just fine in
that if I manually enter a value, it shows up on the SSD correctly after

using fleet2ps

Am I missing a font? Some perl module or somesuch?

I'm running on linux and I've just confirmed that my Tk and Tk::GBARR modules
are up to date.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't come across this problem. What's your perl version (perl -v)
and Tk module versions? Any potentially-useful error messages?

(You may want to take this to private mail...)

Or Roger Livingston East, who was trampled by a mob of sheep about this time
last year.

Well, even with all the good-natured ribbing I got for mucking up Mr.
Burton West's surname, I wanted you lot to know that he was very helpful to me
in getting his shiptool suite of programs working just fine for me.

Thanks again Mr.Roger Burton West!
