Ah, but that isn't so crucial. I think that [clock clicks] has to be a lot= =20 faster than [clock scan] and [clock format], for example, for which it=20 will be rare that speed is crucial. > I assume here though, that that means at a later time those will be > moved to "C".

Is there a Tcl-to-C compiler? _ _ __ ___ _____ ________ _____________ _____________________ ... | Mathieu Bouchard - t=E9l:+1.514.383.3801 - http://artengine.ca/matju | Freelance Digital Arts Engineer, Montr=E9al QC Canada |
