Hi Dale

thanks, I will test it as the first thing monday morning, as I normaly have 
af FME_BEGIN_TCL this issue is not a problem under normal circumstanses. 
When you give the devil a finger he takes the arm, so could we also have 
this functionality in Tcl2/@Tcl2()?

about the tcllibary this is alsoe a nice extension making life a bit more 
uncomplicated. But again, when you ....,  what about including the oratcl, 
tlcodb, blat.exe and a zip/unzip program as well. I use these extensions 
quite a bit, and knowing they are on a pc when fme is installed could 
simplify things quite a bit

In you mail - about the tcl libary you menthion ftp, http, and the registry 
package, but I have also thinkt that the math, and the list extensions  are 
interesting

and what about SOAP there is a SOAP extension to tcl ( I am not shure it is 
aprt off the tcl libary ) I have downloade it and playd a bit with it, I 
have not been able to get i working yet, but when I have I will post an 
exampel to the list.

thankes and have a nice weekend
Peter
