Some parts of the patch benefit Windows and Macintosh users and others will have no effect because the tk X11 emulation is not complete. See the WWW page for full details. The ftp site may have patches for older Tk versions as well. Note that as of Tk 8.3, all of the dash patch except the visitor and tiling support patches has been integrated into the core. Jan has indicated that he doesn't have time to create a new patch for these two functions at this time, so that from his perspective, there is no longer a dash patch, as of Tk 8.3.
