    Last post from 2003... Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this?

    I've tried today in Vista64 and XP32-SP3 tonight and am unable to [exec] or [open] files.

    It always returns with: "Tcl error: couldn't create error file for command: no such file or directory"

    I tried various temp-path settings and so on, various permission settings, nothing will work.  Tried redirecting output such as exec "blah.exe 2>errors.txt" exec "blah.exe >&errors.txt" but this just caused eggdrop.exe to freeze and throw an error.

    This post - https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3453618 - totally solved it.

    I went back to Windrop 1.6.17 which was still compiled against Tcl 8.4, and simply replaced the libtcl8.4.dll with the one from ActiveState Tcl 8.4.9.1 bin/tcl84.dll.  (http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/Windows/8.4.9/ActiveTcl8.4.9.1.139183-win32-ix86.exe)

    I can now [exec] and [open "|"] very wonderfully.
