It should have been done as tcl76. Also, is it v7.6 or > 7.6p2? 7.6 is already there. This is the wrong tack to be taking, people. The correct move should have been to upgrade the tcl in contrib to 7.6 (a relatively easy step), or shift -current to 8.0 as a smoothing step. I'd be happy to take this on; I have an almost-ready 8.0 port, and I'm sure I could smoothtalk Peter into helping me take over the bmake mess. > -Peter -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
