Re: [TCLCORE] Tcl 8.6.9 Release Candidate

[Jan N. <jan...@gm...>]

With this commit:
    <https://core.tcl.tk/tcl/info/5fbb107638379d35>
all of those 5 test failures for Tcl should be fixed new.

The reason:
       set major [string index $tcl_platform(osVersion) 0]

This gives "1" on Windows 10, not the expected "10"   ;-)
