Can't get it to launch - Version: 6.5.28, 6/3/2009 08:38AM PST

Would love to try it but it won't launch for me under 10.4.11. Console tells me it's looking for a version of Tcl I don't have (wants 8.5, but I have 8.4) and it's looking in the wrong place for it anyway. OSX 10.4 has Tcl.framework in the .System/Library/Frameworks folder and AC3D is looking in the .Library/Frameworks folder for it.
I read it's supposed to install its own version but it can't do that without launching - and it doesn't launch. Is it just me?

My tip: go to /Applications/ac3dmac/tcl, open ac3d.tcl in TextEdit, search for the text "proc bypass_system_dialogs" then add a hash character to the start of every line, down to the one with a '}' just after the text "puts "system file dialogs bypassed"" (some of them already have hashes, add or don't add at your discretion). Following that, the editor will run with proper native file selectors for save/load, less ugly pop-up boxes and the normal OS X colour wheel. It seems there was some bug way back in 10.4.8 that precludes this being the default program configuration.
