Running demos in Active Tk

Just a heads up for anyone fooling with Tcl/Tk in linux.

I downloaded the Active Tcl package for both linux and windows. This
really appears to be a working cross platform product.  I am getting
enthused. The learning curve appears to be considerable.

There is a really nice set of demos for Tk, which were easy to display in
windows but which I couldn't find how to run in linux. There are demos
present in the linux package, but they are all subroutines. I couldn't
find any main program.

So, I had to cp the widget.tcl program from the Tk demos folder on
my windows box (widget.tcl) into my linux demos folder, ran wish -f
widget.tcl, and the demos worked just fine, exactly like windows.

I have no idea why this was necessary. I couldn't find any main program
for the demos in linux.
