Hi Arjen:

Many thanks for this work on mass runs of the Tcl examples.  I have followed
up with some additional changes (revision 11077) including implementation of
the test_tcl_standard_examples target.

Please run "make test_tcl_standard_examples" there to make sure it works
properly on your platform(s).  It exercises examples/tcl/standard_examples
without showstopper issues here (Debian Lenny).

I agree something funny is going on for example 21 because after that
example the convenient "-np" option which is passed to pltcl no longer works
so you have to go back to hitting the enter key numerous times to get
through the rest of the examples.

I will look into that and if I find a solution I will check whether that
solution allows me to reinstate example 22 as well.

Alan
