Good.

Hi,
printing is something that is not currently supported.

I'm pretty new to the Tcl language used in ChessDB (I only started to 
learn it when I decided to try to improve upon Scid). But a quick Google 
on "Tcl printing" revealed there is nothing in Tcl to make this very easy.

Does anyone else know of a decent way of printing? It will try asking on 
the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup, as that might reveal something, but my 
initial thoughts are that it is not trivial to add.

Would anyone else who is a programmer like to try to add a printing 
facility?
