When I tried MAKE CHECK things didn't go too well because, I guess, the test suite depends on Tcl (and probably other stuff). So, I search around on my disk. Hey! Since installing Cygwin SWIG there's /lots/ of xxx.tcl files anyway. But there's still no tcl.exe. Scratching my head and remembering I asked about Tcl once before and got curtly informed there was no current work with a port, I wasn't surprised it's not here. If I've misunderstood the situation, someone _please_ set me straight before I dive into deep water. I've located a port of an oldish version of Tcl by Mummet Kahn. I figured I'd mess about with it a bit then try to do the parallel thing with the current baseline. QUESTION 1. Would there be any interest in this here? Alternatively, has anyone tried and despaired 'cause there's far better C programmers here than I? QUESTION 2. Does anyone else know what additional pieces are needed for the GNU test suites to be fully functional? -- David A.
