Trouble with TclX after upgrade to 8.4

I understand that tclx is no longer a separate binary but was folded in as an extension in 8.4 - I've kind of inherited a system that was already in place and our packet generator is no longer working because it is looking for the tcl executable and can no longer find it. On the tcl site I saw there was mention of this and based on what I read there I added a wishx script to the /usr/bin directory but it doesn't seem to have helped. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? This is the bit I refer to from the main tcl site:

TclX Evolution, State and History:

Karl Lehenbauer first wrote TclX, and he and Mark Diekhans maintained it for a long time. In spring 2002, Jeffrey Hobbs is "reforming" TclX, although he doesn't "own" it.

JH: TclX 8.4.0 was released on Nov 21, 2005. There is no more Tk (aka wishx) component or stand-alone binary ('tcl' exe) support. It is a true extension, now with better portability and a cleaner codebase.

Replacement for wishx

Put this script, called wishx and marked executable, in your path:

#!/bin/sh
#\
exec wish "$0" ${1+"$@"}
package require Tk
package require Tclx
set argv [lassign $argv argv0]
source $argv0
