Hello, I uploaded a patch to my private homepage containing patches to some Jacl classes. It can be found here: http://ME.IN-Berlin.de/~v12/krischan/String/string8.4.patch The patch will contain the following improvements to Jacl: - 8.4 compatible string command. - No Exception, when parsing the following command: "set $a(foo" - A double, which is too small, will generate an ARITH UNDERFLOW. - 8.4 compatible error message for: = an invalid option with just two alternatives (no comma before the or); = bad octal numbers. - 0X123 will now be detected as valid hex number. - correct handling for \x123 characters with its 8th bit set (>= \x80). In the same location there is also another patch, which makes the Jacl test target using the tcltest package of Tcl8.4. It can be found here: http://ME.IN-Berlin.de/~v12/krischan/String/tcltest.patch http://ME.IN-Berlin.de/~v12/krischan/String/all.tcl This needs some more work: = there are currently only 14 test with the "package require tcltest" call instead of the old "source def". = TclBlend's test suite should use all.tcl, too. = it would be really cool to be able to do just a jaclsh xxx.test; currently the auto_path is not correct for such a usage. But it is a start.
