Dan, you first asked:

and I answered that as far as I was aware, there was not, as far as I was
aware, a lot of accessibility to extensions from within Vtcl. However,
it appears you were really asking about extensions for use within Tcl
in general, and not specifically within Vtcl.
As you are probably aware, a rather lengthy list of extensions is available
at <URL:http://www.teraform.com/%7Elvirden/tcl-faq/>.
Part of the 'problem' in determining what extensions are useful and what
are 'nice toys' is that we don't know what you are doing. For instance,
all of the Mac and Windows extensions are 'nice toys' to someone without
those machines. However, for someone with those machines, needing
to do the work they supply, they are essential.
For me, I do a lot of Unix work. I find the following extensions quite
useful. The Plus and Dash extensions, the Oracle extension, the expect
extension, the tclX extension, the send.2.0 extension, the img extension,
and occasionally the Kanji, incr tcl, sybase, Tix, and BLT extensions.
But my work mix is quite a bit different from that of others.
