So, (1) Why is tcl in the base distribution if it is not used? troutmask:kargl[250] file /bin/* | grep -i tcl troutmask:kargl[251] file /sbin/* | grep -i tcl troutmask:kargl[252] file /usr/bin/* | grep -i tcl /usr/bin/tclsh: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged dynamically linked executable troutmask:kargl[253] file /usr/sbin/* | grep -i tcl /usr/sbin/addgroup: a /usr/bin/tclsh script text (2) Why is the ports-current collection ignoring the version of tcl installed with the base distribution? -- Steve finger kargl@troutmask.apl.washington.edu http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~clesceri/kargl.html
