It appears that currently the following modules are not installed by the tcllib install makefile target: calendar devtools doctools2base doctools2idx imap4 rest I am guessing that 3 of these - devtools, doctools2base and doctools2idx - are there to support tcllib doc generation. What about the other 3 modules? Are they no longer supported modules? Are modules that are in development but not yet ready for distribution? I do notice that the 3 have no .man files - is that what is holding them back? I'm just curious about the state of the code.

rest is new and as such has not been added to the installer yet. I will defer to Andreas as to whether that is appropriate. the documentation is there but is in need of some formatting. --Aaron Andreas Kupries wrote: > Larry W.

'rest' is brand new and (I presume) Aaron is still working on it. 'calendar' was sort of a rough draft of the 8.5 [clock] functionality and is no longer relevant (a fully-8.5-compatible [clock] that loads into 8.4 is available at SourceForge). I've just never figured out how to get rid of it cleanly. I don't know about 'imap4'. -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin |
