I meant that it should be mentioned in additional FAQ's, particularly
in the ones for the *.admin groups. If it were not for your entry in
the tcl FAQ I would not have found the modules implementation nor this
mailing list ;-)

Also re...@me... (Richard Elling) said;

re> There is an archive.  But to my knowledge it's never been digested.

I meant an archive that is accessible via the WWW, using a package
like hypermail or mhonarc. Such an archive is much easier to use
than a list server and exposes the contents to search engines as well
as being able to list messages by thread etc. I can provide such a service
however our server/network isn't even 90% reliable and as I'm UK based
that wouldn't suit many of you. However I'm willing to mirror the full
Modules site and hypermail archive, if & when one is established.
