Please someone correct me here: I've got the feeling that Modules is
pretty much unsupported software by now. The web-site, which is only
half finished, looks like no-one changed anything since 1996, and the
same goes for the program. 2.1 seems to be pretty much the last
stable version, and this doesn't work properly with anything after
Tcl/Tk 7.6/4.2 (as far as I remember). Please tell me I'm wrong...

This probably doesn't have anything to to with your particular
problem, but in 2.2 (Beta --- sigh) this should look something like:
bibtool i3d plan
bibtool/2.43 i3d/2.0b1 plan/1.4.4
catdoc imagemagick poster
catdoc/0.35 imagemagick/3.8.8 pstoedit
chktex ispell pstoedit/2.60
chktex/1.5 ispell/3.1.20 rcs
detex khoros rcs/5.7
detex/2.3 khoros/1.0.5 tcl
detex/2.6 lacheck tcl/7.6.2
diction lacheck/1.26 texi2html
diction/0.5 latex2html texi2html/1.45
diction/0.6 latex2html/98.1.5 texi2html/1.52
diction/0.6.1
this allows a user to either say
module add diction
consistently giving the newest version of diction without requiring
any further interaction. You just put this line into your .tcsh
(.profile) and forget about it. Or you can say
module add diction/0.6
requesting that specific release. This is done by putting files 0.5,
0.6, and 0.6.1 into the directory diction. This directory can also
contain a file .version giving the default version to load (if you do
not want to load the newest version --- highest lexicographically
sorted modulefile --- by default).
