FAQ for new users/busted installs

[Charles White]

In time order (April 15, 2006), the contents of Library/Receipts (as  
seen through Finder) include a directory for DarwinPorts 1.2.1,  
several related Tcl directories, and an R directory (www.r- 
project.org). At the time, I was building cross-platform Tcl  
interfaces to statistical procedures that I wrote in R. It's not an  
Active State Tcl but I don't know if the tcl.sourceforge.net  
references really mean anything or not. My Unix and Tcl skills are  
little more than rote copying. Help on uninstalling DarwinPorts and  
reverting Tcl would be appreciated.
