Re: [Tcllib-devel] Wcb and Mentry into tklib - definitely yes from my side...

[Johann O. <joh...@go...>]

Hi all,

I'd also like to back up Jeff with his opinion.
I would like to see mentry/wcb in tklib.

In the past I always download the source packages from Caba's homepage, just to be sure to get the most recent one's.
As things get better and better I tend to update tklib from time to time - knowing to have a stable and solid rock code base.

By the way: thank you all for your efforts and contributions!

Cheers,
  Johann

The same situation would be true for wcb/mentry
