  • Man page parse(n) 1.4 is in a sad state

    Hello Kevin, the man page for parse(n) 1.4 is in a sad state. I suggest the following corrections: --- Contrary to the description a range is not of the form {first last} but rather {first length}. I suggest the following modifications: 1st paragraph: ... and a range into the script: {first length}. The command parses the script from the first index for length characters...

  • Bug in tablelist when interacting with gridplus

    Hello, I noticed an intriguing bug when gridplus and tablelist interact. See the following suite of commands. D:\tmp>tclsh85 % package require gridplus 2.3 % package present tablelist_tile 4.9.2 % pack [tablelist::tablelist .tbl1 -columns {0 col1 0 col2}] % source example2.tcl invalid command name ".__helpLabel" % pack [tablelist::tablelist .tbl2 -columns {0 col1 0 col2}] invalid...

  • Minor correction to man page

    Hello out there, the string man page contains an example at the end, where the last command should read set isPrefix [string equal -length $length $string "foobar"] Not particularly important but I just noticed. Best regards Helmut Giese.

  • Comment: Error using COMMON_* virtual text on Win9x

    Logged In: YES user_id=522169 Addendum Ok, it's definitively a Win 98 issue. I installed it on a laptop with XP without any problems. In the documentation I noted that 'COMMON_PROGRAMS' is marked as 'valid only on NT systems'. So it appears that the knowledge is there, but somehow the current behaviour slipped thru. If you fix it: COMMON_STARTMENU and COMMON_STARTUP are also marked 'NT...

  • Error using COMMON_* virtual text on Win9x

    Hello everybody, I just tried to install InstallJammer and it crashed, because it cannot create directory "" (see the attached log file). After this error the only option was to click 'cancel'. OS: Windows 98 Trying to start InstallJammer anyway lead to the error 'could not load dll twapi.dll' - ok, it was worth a try. Best regards Helmut Giese.

  • Comment: Using the C version of struct::tree crashes Tcl 8.4.13

    Logged In: YES user_id=522169 Hi Andreas, just a last thought: On deserialising you are bound to look at each node. Why not note 'in passing' the highest "auto generated name" and when thru using it to initialise the 'unique number'? This should be negligible wrt changes in the code and run-time impact. Ok, I'll forget about it now and leave the rest to you. Greetings Helmut.

  • Comment: Using the C version of struct::tree crashes Tcl 8.4.13

    Logged In: YES user_id=522169 Hi Andreas, I have been thinking a bit about this issue. You can use the same approach the Tcl version uses - that is on every node creation you keep incrementing the counter and compare the resulting name against all existing nodes. This is an O(n) operation for each newly created node. How about the following approach: On deserialisiation you check for...

  • Using the C version of struct::tree crashes Tcl 8.4.13

    Hello out there, all of a sudden I got the error message 'malformed bucket chain in Tcl_DeleteHashEntry'. The only significant change I could think of was the introduction of tcllib's tree module, so I started investigating a bit. The attached file demonstrates the bug. I only observed it on Win98 (because my XP machine runs Tcl 8.4.9) and on 8.4.9 the bug doesn't happen. Also, it is...
