I didn't tested with 3.4.2 and TCL 8.3, but I think it should work. Please let me know if not, I'll try to correct the potential problems.
For your first question, the answer is YES. What I am doing for my use is to open a socket connection at AOLServer startup, detach it, and then use the socket descriptor in all my tcl page scripts as well as threads created using "ns_thread". When detached, the socket still remains, you just have to use the "attach" function to attach it in another thread or script and that's all. Do not hesitate to contact me for any troubles, or for an example. Regards.

(not the ns_socklistencallback) and then transfer it to another thread? :-) For example can I use 10 threads in 'vwait forever' loop and transfer channels across these threads without problems? This is very important to me because my AOLserver sometimes handles over 200 connections and I want to have some threads managing them (but not 200 :-).

I use it to render PNG server statistics for over 6 months. It is a conversion of the tcl gd library. -- WK "Data typing is an illusion. Everything is a sequence of bytes." -Todd Coram
