Hello Modules-Interest List, I was recently made aware of the Modules package when Cray adopted it for use with UNICOS and their mutifarious versions of compilers etc. I appears to be an extremely useful tool and one which I'm sure many people have thought about developing from time to time. Seeing as it is so good why aren't more people aware of it ? It doesn't seem to have made an impact in any FAQ (like comp.unix.shells for example) and indeed it took me a while to find the Tcl implementation using AltaVista. So where's the catch ?? Why hasn't the Linux community (who are quick to adopt good ideas), for example, latched onto it ? Is it because of the Tcl ? John P. |
