Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to know at least one person has read
this file before it becomes part of the final release.

Download sdx.bat and sdx.kit from <http://www.equi4.com/pub/sk/>;.
Download tclkit-win32.exe.gz and tclkitsh-win32.exe.gz from
<http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/>;.

No, not if you have a tarball release. If you have checked the source
out of cvs, you will need to follow the (brief) instructions in
INSTALL.cvs. INSTALL and INSTALL.win32 both assume a tarball release.
I have updated the INSTALL.win32 file with the information above.
