The new tcl/tk versions aren't compatbile * with the old ones, and many of the existing applications will fail under * the new ones. I haven't seen a lot of activity (yet) by the writers of * extensions, to make them compatible with the new versions. The last * thing in the world you would want to do would be to replace the old ones * with the new ones, because this would break all your applications. * * Yes, I agree the ports should be done, but Satoshi's right, they MUST be * kept separate from the existing ones. Um, we are not in complete agreement here, read what I typed. ;) So, is tcl7.4 incompatible with tcl7.3? Satoshi
