Summary: Tcl_EvalEx function not detecting "\n" in Windows.

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I am using TCL version 8.4.19  on a 64 bit Windows machine.
In my C++ code I am calling Tcl_EvalEx () and passing a string argument  like "hi\nbye\nbye_again".
But after evaluation the string is printed as "hi(some special character)bye(some specialcharacter)bye_again".

Even I tried with "hi\\nbye\\nbye_again, then output is "hi\nbye\nbye_again"
with "hi\\r\\nbye\\r\\nbye_again" , then the output is "hi\r\nbye\r\nbye_again".

The expected output is : hi
                                        bye
                                        bye_again

Could you please help?

Message:
On windows should you intrinsically use a pair "\r\n" (CRNL) instead of
"\n" (NL, unix) for really new line...
What do you mean by output?
stdout? if yes - you can configure you stdout channel to translation auto -
it will accept both.

## get a current translation :
fconfigure stdout -translation
## set a translation to auto :
fconfigure stdout -translation auto
