I don't quite exactly think it's really _more_ people that it will make happy, i rather believe it's the just the other half of the people who'll be happy about it...

(But this is assumption, i don't know very much about Tcl, but much more about Perl.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
