DsTool version 3 was contributed to by authors of SaVi, and shares Tcl/Tk code. It can work with Geomview.

DsTool has since been superseded by PyDsTool. PyDsTool can export to Geomview via PyCont's exportGeomview() function.

Here are archival copies of the DsTool version 3 source code and manual (including a larger pdf conversion), along with diffs tracking changes to the other unofficial sourcecode tarballs available.

This DsTool source can be compiled with modern gcc on 32-bit (not 64-bit!) operating systems with Tcl/Tk 8.5 (not 8.6!). Compilation can be done with e.g.:

cd dstool_tk
touch Makedefs.linux
export ARCH=linux
export DSTOOL=$PWD
make World
