Installer is not a good thing, as you pointed out - it may clash with existing installation and doesn't use distribution's package system. On the other hand, Scid installed to a specified directory along with Tcl 8.5 libraries may be an acceptable temporary solution.

There are two advantages, though: - first, developers will be able to start porting right now, so we won't have to wait that long for all those nice features of Tcl 8.5 - second, the problem concerns minority of users, so most won't notice. BTW. I checked that Tcl 8.5.1 RPM is available for Fedora and Mandriva. -- Michal Rudolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
