>From the CHANGES file:

   Optional support for the Tcl/Tk interface.  To use this you need to
   install tcl831.exe from dev.scriptics.com, and you will need the Tcl
   and Tk dlls in your path.  Also, you need to set the environment
   variable TCL_LIBRARY, to something like c:/Program Files/Tcl/lib/tcl8.3.
   The demos(tk*) will work on Windows.


How you set environment variables is Windows-system-specific, but you can
set this on the command line or in a .Renviron file on any Windows system.
