 	* library/init.tcl: make sure env(COMSPEC) on Windows is executed

 	with the right case, as it may otherwise fail inexplicably.

 2001-12-28  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (MemoryCmd, TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem):

 	Added the [memory onexit] command, intended to replace [checkmem].

 	* doc/DumpActiveMemory.3: 

 	* doc/memory.n: Updated documentation for [memory] and related

 	matters.  [Bug 487677]

 	* mac/tclMacBOAMain.c (Tcl_Main, CheckmemCmd): Removed all the

 	machinery for the [checkmem] command that is completely duplicated

 	by code in generic/tclCkalloc.c.

 	* generic/tclBinary.c:

 	* generic/tclListObj.c:

 	* generic/tclObj.c:

 	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Removed references to [checkmem] in

 	comments, referencing [memory active] instead, since it is

 	documented.

 2001-12-28  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* mac/tclMacInit.c:

 	* mac/tclMacTclCode.r: synced up tclInit features to unix/win:

 	implemented TclSetPreInitScript support, use of existing tclInit 

 	proc if defined, check of default encoding dir if set. Changed

 	script library resource names to lowercase (i.e. same as

 	corresponding files). Used Tcl_JoinPath instead of string append.

 	Check that system encoding could be loaded before utf translating

 	the LibraryPath.

 	* mac/tclMacApplication.r:

 	* mac/tclMacLibrary.r:

 	* mac/tclMacOSA.r:

 	* mac/tclMacResource.r: minor version resources cleanup

 2001-12-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG, SC_PATH_TKCONFIG):

 	Search for config file using exec_prefix instead of

 	prefix when no --with-tcl or --with-tk argument is used. [Bug 492418]

 2001-12-21  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/tcl.m4: fixed incorrect SHLIB_LD_LIBS

 	setting for MacOSX / Darwin.

 	filesystem support.

 	* unix/mkLinks: Regen.

 2001-12-19  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): corrected use of eolFix.tcl on

 	working files.  It should operate on distributed files.  [Bug 495120]

 2001-12-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* tools/tcl.wse.in: Fix for #495120.  tcl.wse.in was

 	stored in cvs with improper <eol>.  This resulted in

 	corrupted <eol> when checked-out on translating CVS

 	clients such as windows (CRCRLF) and mac (CRCR).

 2001-12-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	options are passed to gcc or ld. [Tk Bug 220863]

 2001-12-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/README: Update to account for changes

 	in the unix/dltest directory, the way autoconf

 	is run, and the new "make shell" target.

 2001-12-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/Makefile.in: Rename dltest to dlpkgs to

 	fix problem where lib files were not getting

 	built because dltest/ directory already existed.

 2001-12-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCheckProc): corrected time

 	calculations to be unsigned. (schroedter)

 2001-12-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/Makefile.in: Define new dltest target that

 	simply does a cd to dltest/ before running make.

 	There is no need for the separate configure

 	script that was previously being used.

 	* unix/configure: Regen.

 	* unix/configure.in: Subst into dltest/Makefile.

 	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Define LIBS using

 	DL_LIBS, LIBS, and MATH_LIBS variables instead

 	of TCL_LIBS variable from tclConfig.sh.

 	* unix/dltest/README: Update readme to account for new

 	configure free implementation.

 	* unix/dltest/configure: Removed.

 	* unix/dltest/configure.in: Removed.

 2001-12-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_STUB_MAGIC): Added cast to force type to be

 	an int and get rid of a persistent and pointless warning with

 	SunPro compiler.

 	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc,Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc): 

 	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc,Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc):

 	Made the file parameters to these functions into CONST char *,

 	like they always should have been to match the other Tcl*Db* API

 	functions.

 2001-12-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

 	* Applied #219311 on behalf of Rolf Schroedter

 	  <schroedter@users.sourceforge.net> to prevent fcopy on serial

 	Bug & patch by Don Porter.  

 2001-12-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Stop Tcl on Windows

 	from crashing when shutdown from a non-Tcl thread. Fixes Bug

 	#217982 [orig. 5804] reported by Hugh Vu and Gene Leache.   I'm

 	not convinced that the shutdown process is right even with this,

 	but it was definitely wrong without...

 2001-12-13  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

 	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Fix for tcl bug item

 	  #478565 reported by an unknown person. Bypasses all calls to

 2001-12-12  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): Applied patch for bug #491341 as

 	  provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>. Fixes the

 	  assumption of having an empty Tcl_Obj to work with.

 2001-12-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:

 	* generic/tclCompile.c:

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: consistency patch, to make all

 	  instructions that pop a variable number of Tcl_Obj's off the

 	  execution stack take the number of popped objects as first

 	  operand. Modified *only* the new instructions

 	  INST_LIST_INDEX_MULTI and INST_LSET_FLAT, so this has no effect

 	  on bytecodes generated up to tcl8.4a3 inclusive.

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: fix debug messages in INST_LSET_LIST. 

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLindexCmd):

 	* generic/tclVar.c: 

 	* tests/trace.test: restored consistency in refCount accounting by

 	array traces [Bug #4484339], submitted by Don Porter. 

 2001-12-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* tests/parseExpr.test, tests/for.test, tests/expr.test:

 	* tests/expr-old.test, tests/compile.test, tests/compExpr.test

 	* tests/compExpr-old.test: Kept up to date with syntax errors.

 	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (ParsePrimaryExpr): Rewrote to give even

 	better syntax errors in the fairly common case of an identifier

 	without decorations by guessing based on the currently available

 	functions.  Also made messages consistent between memdebug and

 	ordinary builds.

 2001-12-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclVar.c: 

 	* tests/trace.test: new algorithm for [array get], safe when there

 	are traces that modify the array [Bug #449893]. 

 2001-12-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* tests/compExpr-old.test, tests/compExpr.test, tests/compile.test:

 	* tests/while.test, tests/if.test: Rewrite to handle more specific

 	syntax errors.

 	* tests/parseExpr.test: Rewrite to get rid of dup test numbers and

 	handle more specific syntax errors.

 	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (LogSyntaxError): Added a detail message

 	argument to help explain what the syntax error is.

 	(Tcl_ParseExpr, ParseCondExpr, ParsePrimaryExpr): Added detail

 	messages.

 	(UNKNOWN_CHAR): New lexeme for characters that are always illegal

 	in expressions outside strings.

 2001-12-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* doc/expr.n: Various documentation improvements in relation to

 	the function calls.  Includes fix for Bug #487704 submitted by

 	Devin Eyre.

 2001-12-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/makefile.vc: Some install target bugs repaired along with

 	$(TCLSTUBLIB) added to the dependencies rather than implicit through

 	the dde and reg extensions which don't happen to always require it

 	for some build types.

 2001-11-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclVar.c: Tcl_Preserve'ing VarTrace structures to avoid 

 	memory corruption. Patch for [Bug: 484334] provided by Don Porter 

 2001-11-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/namespace.test: modified namespace-41.2, added 41.3

 	{knownbug} after discussion with Don Porter and Kevin Kenny.

 2001-11-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/namespace.test: added namespace-41.2, a simpler test for

 	[Bug: 231259]

 2001-11-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* generic/tclBinary.c (BINARY_SCAN_MAX_CACHE, Tcl_BinaryObjCmd,

 	ScanNumber): Added caching scheme to reduce number of object

 	allocations when doing scans of large repetitive binary strings.

 	See comments in file for reasoning behind implementation.

 	Suggested by Miguel Sofer in Patch #429916, but independently

 	implemented.

 2001-11-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* doc/regsub.n, doc/regexp.n: Converted dangling references to

 	METASYNTAX section into references to the re_syntax manual page.

 2001-11-27  D. Richard Hipp   <drh@hwaci.com>

 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: Fix a coredump in the filename normalizer

 	code for Win95/98.

 2001-11-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/makefile.vc: Removed the Tk reference for the 'winhelp' target.

 	Converge at install will need to be the solution for Tk and all other

 	extensions.

 2001-11-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.2): Made test less sensitive to OS

 	preemption, but perfection isn't practical [Bug 463189, reported

 	by Don Porter.]

 	* tests/switch.test (switch-9.*): Added tests to exercise more of

 	the argument checking.  (switch-7.2,switch-7.3): Test changed

 	behaviour slightly.

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reworked argument parsing

 	to be stricter about what it accepts.  This should make uses of

 	the [switch] command be more maintainable.  [Bug 475397, reported

 	by Don Porter.]

 2001-11-26  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: 'make genstubs' after changes

 	in 2001-11-23 commit from Daniel Steffen.

 2001-11-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/Makefile.in: Add comments to better describe

 	TCL_EXE and when it should be available.

 	* win/Makefile.in: Add TCL_EXE variable to be used

 	by rules like `make genstubs`. Don't set TCL_LIBRARY

 	before running `make genstubs` since we will be running

 	with a tclsh from the PATH not the one we build.

 2001-11-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* win/configure: Regen.

 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add comctl32.lib

 	to wish link libs. This change was originally added

 	to Tk on 2001-11-09 but was not committed to Tcl.

 2001-11-23  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/Makefile.in:

 	* unix/install-sh:

 	* unix/mkLinks:

 	* unix/mkLinks.tcl:

 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:

 	* unix/tclMtherr.c: Mac OSX support: build system, dynamic code loading

 	and support for case-insensitive filesystems in mkLinks (patch #435258)

 2001-11-23  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

 	Up-port to 8.4 of mac code changes for 8.3.3 & various new

 	changes for 8.4, some already backported to 8.3.4 (patch #435658)

 	* generic/tclObj.c: added #include to fix missing prototype errors

 	* generic/tcl.h: MAC_TCL: addition of ConditionalMacros.h and use of

 	DLLIMPORT and DLLEXPORT like on other platforms.  ( => no longer need

 	the .exp files and can remove use of #pragma export that never worked

 	well)

 	removed line continuation in #if clause as this breaks the mac

 	resource compiler (note that *.r files include tcl.h)

 	* mac/tclMacFile.c: fixed bug in permission checking code

 	* mac/tclMacLoad.c: corrected utf8 handling, comparison of

 	package names to code fragment names changed to only match on the

 	length of package name, this allows for fragment names with version

 	numbers appended

 	* mac/tclMacInt.h:

 	* generic/tclInt.h:

 	* mac/tclMacTime.c:

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: moved declaration of TclpGetGMTOffset()

 	* mac/tclMacShLib.exp:

 	* mac/tclMacOSA.exp:

 	* mac/tclMacMSLPrefix.h: removed files

 	* unix/Makefile.in: removed reference to .exp files

 	* mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.h:

 	* mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.pch:

 	* mac/MW_TclHeaderCommon.h:

 	* mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.h:

 	* mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.pch: new precompiled header files

 	* mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.pch:

 	* mac/MW_TclHeader.pch:

 	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch:

 	* mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: revised precompiled header handling: now

 	include a common header file 'MW_TclHeaderCommon.h' from all .pch

 	files, the .pch files themselves now only setup #defines (e.g.

 	BUILD_tcl, STATIC_BUILD, TCL_DEBUG, TCL_THREADS) like in makefiles on

 	other platforms.

 	* mac/tclMac.h:

 	* mac/tclMacPort.h:

 	* mac/tclMacInt.h: use of BUILD_tcl and TCL_STORAGE_CLASS like on other

 	platforms, standardize #include'd files to what's done on other

 	platforms, removed use of #pragma export.

 	* mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx: new archive of mac build support

 	files & suggested build environment directory hierarchy: 

 	'Building MacTclTk' & 'CW Pro6 changes' readme's.

 	projects for MoreFiles 1.5.2 static & shared libraries.

 	project & sources for 'pseudoCarbonSupport', see below.

 	included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.

 	* mac/tclMacProjects.sea.hqx: updated mac build project files:

 	build support for CodeWarrior Pro6, UnivIntf 3.4 & shared runtime

 	libraries: the MSL libraries and MoreFiles are no longer compiled into

 	Tcl.shlb, all non-static binaries now use the Pro6 shared runtime

 	libraries and MoreFiles.shlb.  These shlbs are merged into the standard

 	Wish and TclShell, but 3rd party applications linking with Tcl.shlb or

 	Tk.shlb need to setup access to them.  (see the "(sh-ppc)" targets

 	for how to do this.)

 	included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.

 	use compat/strtod.c instead of MSL's strtod()

 	use WASTE versions of MSL for tcl test target to avoid text buffer

 	cutoff at 32k.

 	Merging the full MSL.shlb and the other shlbs into Wish & TclShell

 	makes them a bit larger than before, use unmerged binaries to avoid

 	copying the shared code with every application, e.g. when deploying

 	numerous Wish based droplets.

 	Note that using CW Pro5 to compile extensions is in principle still

 	possible, but need to link with Pro6 runtime libraries.

 	Tclapplescript now loads and runs on CFM68k.

 	Highly experimental "pseudoCarbon" support for Tcl only on OS 8/9:

 	binaries in "Build:(Carbon):" link against CarbonLib instead of

 	InterfaceLib, however the actual code has not been carbonized! i.e. it

 	will not run on OSX and may not even run properly with CarbonLib. 

 	This should in principle allow you to build & test OS9 CFM Carbon

 	binaries that need to link with Tcl.shlb.  On OSX you can use the

 	native Tcl.framework, but you have to build a MachO binary as there

 	is no CFM glue lib for Tcl.framework.

 	the library pseudoCarbonSupport.shlb manually loads the symbols

 	from InterfaceLib that are not in CarbonLib but are needed by the

 	uncarbonized code in Tcl.shlb and TclShell.

 	* generic/tclMain.c: MAC_TCL: workaround for broken/non-standard isatty

 	on MW Pro6, #include <unistd.h> instead of defining isatty

 	* mac/tclMacPort.h: MW Pro6 changes for MSL fcntl.h, stat.h & isatty

 	* mac/tclMacAppInit.c: add EXTERN to InstallConsole to enable DLL

 	export via the TCL_STORAGE_CLASS mechanism.

 	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: fix for FSpDirectoryCopy API change

 	* mac/tclMacLibrary.c: emit compile time error when

 	TCL_REGISTER_LIBRARY and USE_TCL_STUBS are both defined at the same

 	time in an extension, this use is not currently supported and will

 	result in a crash when dynamically loading the extension.

 	* mac/tclMacApplication.r:

 	* mac/tclMacLibrary.r:

 	* mac/tclMacOSA.r:

 	* mac/tclMacResource.r: fixed obsolete copyrights/dates in version

 	strings; updated version strings to standard usage; added support for

 	'(Support Libraries)' subfolder for shared runtime libraries in

 	unmerged binaries; commented out demo setting of "Tcl Environment

 	Variables"; reorganized resources among these files to avoid 

 	multiple copies in applications and shared libraries, the script

 	libraries are now no longer duplicated in Tclsh but are only included 

 	in the resources of Tcl.shlb.

 	* mac/tclMacChan.c:

 	* mac/tclMacSock.c: cast for *BlockMode

 	* mac/tclMacUtil.c:

 	* mac/tclMacMath.h: removed obsolete hypot() definition

 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclInt.decls:

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* mac/tclMacNotify.c:

 	* mac/tclMacOSA.c:

 	* mac/tclMacUtil.c:

 	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: renamed routines conflicting with standard

 	Apple or MoreFiles headers (at compile or link time):

 	GetGlobalMouse         -> GetGlobalMouseTcl

 	FSpGetDirectoryID      -> FSpGetDirectoryIDTcl

 	FSpOpenResFileCompat   -> FSpOpenResFileCompatTcl

 	FSpCreateResFileCompat -> FSpCreateResFileCompatTcl

 	NewThread              -> NewTestThread

 	the renamed MoreFiles *Tcl routines are just wrappers calling into the

 	MoreFiles DLL.

 	* mac/tclMacCommonPch.h:

 	* mac/tclMacThrd.c:

 	* mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed OLDROUTINENAMES define, renamed obsolete

 	apple API names to modern equivalents; UH3.4 support: added #include

 	<ControlDefinitions.h>, updated New*Proc() calls to New*UPP().

 	* mac/tclMacUnix.c: added missing (Tcl_Obj ***) cast to

 	Tcl_ListObjGetElements call

 	* mac/tclMacAlloc.c: modernized TclpSysAlloc() to use temporary

 	memory instead of system heap memory when available (MacOS

 	>= 7.5 and possibly earlier, use of system heap has been

 	discouraged for a long time and has many disadvantages, e.g. memory

 	isn't paged out, and errors can very easily bring the system down);

 	fixed crashing bug in TclpSysRealloc() and CleanUpExitProc() where

 	memory was being accessed after having been deallocated; fixed

 	memory leak in (de)allocation code (for every block ever allocated

 	with TclpSysAlloc, a Ptr was leaked), if temporary memory is

 	available, don't track allocated memory, instead use

 	RecoverHandle() to get Handle from Ptr, otherwise use doubly linked

 	list to correctly track memory and free all allocated memory; added

 	new option for ConfigureMemory: MEMORY_DONT_USE_TEMPMEM, disables

 	use of temporary memory even when it would be available, only

 	necessary when writing e.g. a driver (using tcl??); increased

 	fraction of application heap reserved for OS routines to 512K

 	* compat/strftime.c: 

 	* mac/tclMacTime.c:

 	* mac/tclMacPort.h:

 	* generic/tclInt.decls: 

 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c: timezone support for mac via 

 	TclpGetTZName() like on windows, using an inverse timezone table

 	adapted from tclDate.c to map gmtoffset in seconds gotten from

 	the MacOS APIs to a  timezone string, as there is no good way to get

 	this info from MacOS. I had to make up some unusual timezones and

 	arbitrarily decide on the most standard of the multiple choices

 	available for every timezone.

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: workaround for a MSL bug/misfeature: for

 	very small floats, MSL can return errno ERANGE but a

 	non-zero value ( < LDBL_MIN however)

 	* mac/tclMacAppInit.c: support for WASTE text library using

 	temporary memory, setting has no effect if WASTE is not used.

 	* mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed duplicate code from generic/tclPanic.c

 	and added that file to projects instead.

 	* tests/all.tcl: set tcltest::singleProcess 1 as multiple processes

 	are not available on the mac.

 	* tests/cmdAH.test: access time not available on the mac, skip the 

 	atime touch test

 	* tests/appendComp.test:

 	* tests/cmdMZ.test:

 	* tests/compile.test:

 	* tests/exec.test:

 	* tests/fileName.test:

 	* tests/lset.test:

 	* tests/namespace.test:

 	* tests/tcltest.test: added missing cleanups/tests/catches that

 	caused tests to fail on the mac.

 	* doc/tclvars.n: doc bug, env(PWD) should be env(HOME) [Bug 463834]

 2001-11-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Corrected test for Bug 219393.

 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken,CallCommandTraces):

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ>c (Tcl_UntraceCommand):  Added Tcl_Preserve and

 	Tcl_Release calls to prevent deletion of CommandTrace structures

 	until all callers are done using them, preventing memory corruption.

 	[Bug 453805]

 	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwinclockCmd):

 	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpGetSeconds, TclpGetClicks, Tcl_GetTime):

 	Changed all uses of TclpGetTime to Tcl_GetTime.  Added Tcl_GetTime

 	to the Stubs table and the library documentation.  Added a

 	TclpGetTime in tclUtil.c for backward compatibility of

 	extensions. [Patch #483500, TIP#73]

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): Corrected an error in the

 	[time] command that caused incorrect results to be returned if the

 	total duration of all iterations exceeded 2**31 microseconds.

 	[Bug #478847]

 	* generic/tclInt.decls:

 	* generic/tclInt.h:

 	* generic/tclStubInit.h: Reran 'make genstubs'

 2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclBasic.c

 	* generic/tclCompile.h: 

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: moving all code relative to bytecodes from

 	tclBasic.c to tclExecute.c - the functions RecordTracebackInfo and

 	Tcl_ExprObj went to tclExecute.c, and new interface function was

 	defined (TclCompEvalObj).

 	The final objective of this sequence of moves is to provide a

 	clean, clear-cut interface between Tcl's core and the

 	compiler/engine subsystem.  

 2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclBasic.c

 	* generic/tclCompile.h: 

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: factoring out of common code in tclBasic.c

 	(new function TclInterpReady defined: it resets the interp's

 	result, then checks that it hasn't been deleted and that the

 	nesting level is acceptable). Passed the responsibility of calling

 	it to the *callers* of TclEvalObjvInternal.

 2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclBasic.c

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: a better variant of the previous-to-last

 	commit (restoring numLevels computations). The managing of the

 	levels now has to be done by the *callers* of TclEvalObjvInternal  

 2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: missing variable declaration under

 	TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG. 

 2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclExecute.c:

 	* generic/tclProc.c: restoring the computations of iPtr->numLevels

 	to the original logic (previous to buggy modifs on 2001-11-16).

 2001-11-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* tools/eolFix.tcl (new-file):

 	* unix/Makefile.in: added EOL correction for Windows bat files to

 	dist target. [Bug #219409] (davygrvy)

 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): update of patch

 	from 2001-11-16 that uses the old Tcl encoding check mechanism as

 	a fallback to the original.  Also added a TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING

 	#define (defaults to iso8859-1).  Tcl will first try setlocale and

 	nl_langinfo, and if that fails, guess based on certain LANG|LC_*

 	env vars. [Patch #418645]

 2001-11-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/buildall.vc.bat:  Added useful comments.

 2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/compile.test: added a test for bug [Bug 483309]

 2001-11-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* win/tclWinFile.c:

 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:

 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:

 	* doc/file.n:

 	* tests/winFCmd.test: improved speed of file normalization

 	for Win95/98, and clarified docs on differences in file

 	normalization between NT/2000 and the older operating systems.

 	Added test to ensure normalization is correct.

 2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclBasic.c:

 	* generic/tclParse.c: Code reorganisation. Moved all evaluation

 	functions from tclParse.c to tclBasic.c, so that now tclParse.c

 	deals exclusively with parsing and all evaluations are done by

 	code in tclBasic.c. The functions moved are: TclEvalObjvInternal,

 	Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_LogCommandInfo, Tcl_EvalTokensStandard,

 	Tcl_EvalTokens, Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_Eval, Tcl_EvalObj and

 	Tcl_GlobalEvalObj. 

 2001-11-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Added adapted version of Bug

 	#219393 as new test; the test won't reliably show up the old

 	problem unless it is being run under something like Purify, but

 	something is better than nothing...

 	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_TraceVar2, Tcl_UntraceVar2): Added missing

 	mask bits for trace result type and a check for a nonsense flag

 	combination.

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): Added missing test for NULL

 	when deleting a trace that doesn't cause an error.

 	* doc/TraceVar.3: Added documentation for change due to TIP#68.

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarInfo): Removed problematic errMsg

 	field from structure.

 	(TraceVarProc): Removed references to errMsg field and changed

 	handling of errors so that they returned a Tcl_Obj* containing the

 	error string.  This minimizes the number of calls to the memory

 	management subsystem.

 	(TclTraceCommandObjCmd, TraceCommandProc): Removed references to

 	errMsg field which was never used in command traces in any case.

 	(Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Removed references to

 	errMsg field and made variable traces register with

 	TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT bit set.

 	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_TRACE_RESULT_DYNAMIC,TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT): 

 	New constants to define how to handle the strings returned from

 	trace callbacks [TIP#68]

 	* generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces, Tcl_GetVar2Ex, TclGetIndexedScalar,

 	TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_SetVar2Ex, TclSetIndexedScalar,

 	TclSetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_UnsetVar2, Tcl_ArrayObjCmd,

 	TclDeleteVars, TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars, DeleteArray,

 	TclVarTraceExists): Support for those new trace flags.

 2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: patch for [Bug 483309] (petasis).

 2001-11-16  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclListObj.c: removed a C++-style comment that

 	  was inadvertently left in the source code.

 2001-11-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* tests/interp.test: 

 	* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveObjCmd): Corrected argument checking

 	for '$interp alias|aliases|issafe'. [Patch #479560] (thoyts, hobbs)

 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added HAVE_LANGINFO code block.

 	* unix/configure: regened

 	* unix/configure.in: added SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO call

 	* unix/tcl.m4: made SHLIB_LD_LIBS='${LIBS}' for FreeBSD* (meyer)

 	Added modified version of Wagner patch to make use of nl_langinfo

 	where possible to determine Unix platform encoding, instead of the

 	inflexible built-in system.  This is used by default when

 	possible, and can be disabled with --enable-langinfo=no.

 	[Patch #418645] (hobbs, wagner)

 2001-11-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclCompile.h:

 	* generic/tclExecute.c:

 	* generic/tclObj.c: moved Tcl_GetCommandFromObj and all defining

 	code for tclCmdNameType objects to tclObj.c (from tclExecute.c). 

 	This code has nothing to do with bytecodes.

 2001-11-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclBasic.c:

 	* generic/tclCompile.h:

 	* generic/tclExecute.c:

 	* generic/tclParse.c:

 	* generic/tclProc.c:

 	* tests/stack.test: consolidation of duplicated code (in

 	TclExecuteByteCode and EvalObjv); renaming of EvalObjv to

 	TclEvalObjv as it is not static anymore; restored consistency of

 	level counts between compiled and directly evaled code.

 	[Bug 480896]

 2001-11-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/makefile.vc:

 	* win/rules.vc:  Small bug fixes.

 	Reference implementation of TIP's #22, #33 and #45.  Adds the

 	ability of the [lindex] command to have multiple index arguments,

 	and adds the [lset] command.  Both commands are byte-code compiled.

 	[Patch #471874] (work by Kenny, commited by Hobbs)

 2001-11-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/buildall.vc.bat(new):

 	* win/makefile.vc:  Small fix with deriving the "OriginalFilename"

 	string in the .rc scripts.  Added a quick batchfile for building

 	the entire thing.

 2001-11-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* doc/FileSystem.3:

 	* doc/file.n:

 	* doc/tcltest.n: converted use of \' to more reasonable format.

 2001-11-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/Makefile.in:

 	* win/Makefile.in: Add "make gdb" target. This target

 	can run tclsh inside either gdb or insight.

 2001-11-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/makefile.vc:  Added a check to make sure one runs the makefile

 	from the /win directory only.

 	* win/mkd.bat:

 	* win/rmd.bat:  Changes from Llyod Lim for better stability.

 	[Patch #456759]

 2001-11-09  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/makefile.vc:

 	* win/tcl.dsp:  winhelp target fixes for non-NT systems.  It

 	seems NMAKE under these remembers changed directories during

 	commands.   A new tcltest feature from Peter Spjuth 

 	<peter.spjuth@space.se> to specify a pattern file from the

 	commandline and redirecting output to a file when not under

 	NT with it's scrollback console.  Then it replays it, piped

 	through more.  Added 2 new static "configurations" to tcl.dsp.

 	I could keep adding more, but I think we should leave it up to

 	the user for customizing it.

 	Sticky-points left:  'profile' option.

 2001-11-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/var.test:

 	* generic/tclVar.c: Corrected bug in [global] when dealing

 	with variable names matching :*.  [Bug 480176]

 2001-11-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	Fixup stack size under OSF1. [Tcl patch 474790]

 	* unix/configure: Regen.

 	* unix/tcl.m4: Add HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE define

 	to EXTRA_CFLAGS to adjust initial stack size.

 2001-11-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	Enable thread support under FreeBSD. [Tcl bug 473708]

 	* unix/configure: Regen.

 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Check for pthread functions

 	in libc_r and enable thread support if found.

 	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Set SHLIB_LD_LIBS and use it in

 	the Makefile to properly link a shared library.

 2001-11-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/Makefile.in:

 	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in:

 	Avoid adding libc to the LIBS variable since it

 	is not needed when linking with CC. If required

 	when linking with LD it should be done on a case

 	by case basis in tcl.m4.

 2001-11-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/rules.vc:

 	* win/makefile.vc:  Fixed install target to adjust for the

 	different build types.  Added a 'linkexten' option to link the

 	win extensions inside the shell when built static.  Placed

 	win/tclAppInit.c patch in SF patch DB for approval. 'profile'

 	option not hooked in yet.  Everything else know is done.

 	* win/tcl.dsp(new):

 	* win/tcl.dsw(new):  Simple MsDev stub project files that calls

 	makefile.vc.  Will help run Tcl in the debugger easier without

 	confusing MsDev for where the .pdb files are.

 2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/Makefile.in:

 	* win/Makefile.in:

 	Print a message indicating that the user should

 	run "make genstubs" when the generated tclStubInit.c

 	file is out of date. We can't regenerate automatically

 	since there may be no tclsh on the system and that

 	would cause bootstrap problems. [Tcl bug 465874]

 2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC in tclConfig.sh. It should be

 	included by extensions that need to find Tcl include

 	headers in the install location. The user can override

 	the include install dir with --includedir so we need

 	to record this information for extensions. [Tcl bug 421835]

 	* unix/configure: Regen.

 	* unix/configure.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC.

 	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC.

 	* win/configure: Regen.

 	* win/configure.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC.

 	* win/tclConfig.sh.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC.

 2001-11-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/rules.vc:

 	* win/makefile.vc: Dropped the NOMSVCRT macro and put it on the

 	option list instead.  It makes more sense to me this way as

 	NOMSVCRT=0 would only be the valid setting.  Fixed the dde and reg

 	extension for building static.  Improved, but not perfected, the

 	winhelp target.

 2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* win/README: Change minimum VC++ version to 5.X since

 	4.X is known not to work.

 	Indicate that Mingw is required and building with Cygwin

 	gcc is not supported. Include instructions that indicate

 	how to install Mingw and what URLs folks should use to

 	download the supported version of Mingw.

 	* win/configure: Regen.

 	* win/configure.in: Error out if user tries to compile the

 	Windows version of Tcl with Cygwin gcc. Users should compile

 	with Mingw gcc instead.

 2001-11-06  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

 	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Fixed bug #478856 reported by

 	  Stuart Cassoff <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>. The bug caused loss

 	  of fileevents when [read]ing less data from the channel than

 	  buffered. Due to an empty input buffer the flag

 	  CHANNEL_NEED_MORE_DATA was set but never reset, causing the I/O

 	  system to wait for more data instead of using a timer to

 	  synthesize fileevents and to flush the pending data out of the

 	  buffers.

 2001-11-06  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/rules.vc (new):

 	* win/makefile.vc:  Complete over/under rewrite to support numerous

 	build options all from the commandline itself without needing to

 	edit the makefile.  Now requires vcvars32.bat to be run prior to

 	running nmake for bootstraping the environment.  Fully doc'd usage

 	for it is in makefile.vc.  Commentary welcome.  Sticky points left

 	are:

 	1) winhelp target shows errors in the converting script.

 	2) .rc scripts aren't getting the right #defines to build the correct

 	   "OriginalFilename" strings. (have patch, won't commit yet)

 	3) Naming convention with suffixes describing the buildtype are 'tsdx'

 	   which will need public acceptance. ie. tclsh84tsx.exe is a (t)

 	   threaded shell (s) statically linked to the core and (x) uses

 	   msvcrt instead of libcmt.

 2001-11-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* library/init.tcl: made filesystem fallback proc

 	::tcl::CopyDirectory more robust to vagaries of non-native

 	filesystems.

 2001-11-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* doc/file.n:

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: updated documentation and comments

 	to clarify behaviour of 'file copy' wrt soft links.

 2001-10-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* win/tclWinFile.c: fix to '-types {f r}' bug in

 	TclpMatchInDirectory (which could cause a UMR, as well as

 	returning wrong results).  Also improved API for 'stat'

 	to resolve [Bug#219258].

 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c

 	* win/tclWinInt.h: addition of improved stat API to internal 

 	lookup table.

 	* tests/fileName.test: two new tests for the above bug.

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: some cleanup of comments and #ifdefs

 2001-10-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): Argument to access()

 	was entryPtr->d_name instead of nativeEntry which failed when

 	trying to check access for files in other than the current

 	directory. [Bug 475941, reported by Georgios Petasis]

 2001-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added stateUpdated member to struct TtyState.

 	(TtyCloseProc,TtySetOptionProc,TtyInit): Use stateUpdated member

 	of TtyState to decide whether it is necessary to reset a serial

 	port when Tcl closes it.  Blindly resetting can cause Tcl to be

 	sent an unexpected SIGTSTP when it is executing in the background

 	[Bug 471374, reported by Chris Nelson]

 2001-10-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

 	* doc/ObjectType.3: Minor documentation fix, reported by David

 	  N. Welton <davidw@users.sourceforge.net> directly to me.

 2001-10-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: fix to stop test suite from hanging process

 	under some versions of WinNT. [Bug #466102] (Kevin Kenny)

 2001-10-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* tests/clock.test (clock-8.1): 

 	* generic/tclDate.c (RelativeMonth): 

 	* generic/tclGetDate.y (RelativeMonth): corrected off-by-one-day

 	error in clock scan with relative months and years during swing

 	hours. [Bug #413397, Patch #414024] (lavana)

 2001-10-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to bug in Tcl_FSChdir shown up

 	by recent tclkit builds.

 2001-10-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (PipeInputProc, PipeOutputProc): do immediate

 	retry when error is returned with errno == EINTR.

 	[Bug #415131] (leger)

 2001-10-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* unix/tclLoadAout.c (TclGuessPackageName): removed unused vars

 	and fixed warnings. [Bug #446622] (lim)

 2001-10-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclProc.c: changing a memcmp to strncmp to avoid a memory

 	error detected by purify (thanks Jeff); modify style to agrre with

 	the style guide. 

 2001-10-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

 	* generic/tclInt.decls (TclExpandCodeArray,TclGetInstructionTable):

 	  Added to internal stubs table. Tclcompiler (Tclpro project)

 	  needs them if used as loadable package under Windows. Changed

 	  signatures. We don't want to describe compiler internal

 	  structures in "tclInt.h".

 	* generic/tclCompile.h: S.a. Removed function declarations.

 	* generic/tclCompile.c: S.a. Adapted to changed signatures.

 2001-10-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* unix/configure: 

 	* unix/configure.in: 

 	* win/configure: 

 	* win/configure.in: 

 	* win/tcl.m4: reworked to be a little cleaner in comparison to

 	each other, and to AC_SUBST even empty vars for win/tclConfig.sh

 	* generic/tclFileName.c: minor code cleanup

 	* generic/tcl.h: moved #define of WIN32 to tcl.h where __WIN32__

 	is defined and added #ifndef check.

 	* doc/open.n: moved all fconfigure option docs to fconfigure.n

 	* doc/fconfigure.n: added serial config options

 	* win/tclWinChan.c:

 	* win/tclWinPort.h:

 	* win/tclWinSerial.c: added TIP #35 Windows enhancements for

 	serial configuration. [Patch #438509] (schroedter)

 2001-10-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclFCmd.c: fix to memory leak in TclFileDeleteCmd on

 	certain error conditions.

 	* doc/FileSystem.3: fix to typo.

 2001-10-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* library/encoding/ebcdic.enc:

 	* tools/encoding/ebcdic.txt: EBCDIC charset mapping.

 	[Patch #219323] (nijtmans)

 	* library/encoding/tis-620.enc:

 	* tools/encoding/tis-620.txt: TIS-620 charset mapping.

 	[Patch #467423] (poonlap)

 	* tests/http.test: added removeFile for outdata

 	* tests/ioCmd.test: added catch around file removal, as Windows

 	file locking throws errors.

 	* tests/socket.test (socket-7.2): corrected to work on Win2K.

 2001-10-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/compile.test: new tests for [Bug 467523]; they are only

 	effective if TCL_MEM_DEBUG was set during compilation.

 2001-10-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): insured that

 	self-referential bytecodes are properly cleaned up on interpreter

 	deletion [Bug 467523] (Ronnie Brunner)

 2001-10-10  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/tclWinPort.h:  #include <winsock2.h> needed to get moved

 	to after #include <windows.h> or wierd misunderstandings took

 	place when -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 is set for outside code that

 	requires knowledge of Tcl innards.  General header macro magic

 	applied liberally...

 2001-10-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/unixInit.test:	Corrected restore of ::env(LANG).

 2001-10-09  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_SplitPath): corrected mem leak

 	intro'd with VFS code where the result obj from Tcl_FSSplitPath

 	was not getting freed.

 2001-10-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclLiteral.c: (TclReleaseLiteral) reverted previous

 	patch for [Bug 467523] - cure is worse than the illness.

 	not include big5, gb or euc* as those have different formats in

 2001-10-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_FinalizeThread): moved freeing of

 2001-10-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* win/configure: regen'ed

 	* win/tcl.m4:

 	Vince apparently missed.

 2001-09-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* doc/lsort.n: Improved doc...

 	offset-from-end indexing work, and factored out some "magic

 	numbers" for easier understanding.  [Bug #465674]

 	* tests/cmdIL.test (cmdIL-1.26): Added test for offset-from-end

 	indexing for lsort.

 2001-09-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:

 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix to performance issue reported

 	by jcw in which 'access("")' is called unnecessarily when

 	normalizing any absolute path.

 	* generic/tclIO.c: added '(ClientData)' cast to calls to

 	Tcl_(Preserve|Release) newly introduced, fixing compile

 	error on Windows.

 	Tcl_FSLoadFile and TclpLoadFile.  Report and patch from Kevin

 	Kenny. [Bug 465833]

 	* generic/tclIO.c (ChannelTimerProc):  Added Tcl_Preserve()

 	and Tcl_Release() to fix segfault introduced by the 2001-09-26

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs

 2001-09-26  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

 	* doc/fileevent.n: Accepted [Patch #465279] adding an example to

 	  the fileevent manpage. Minor modifications to get a better

 	  formatting. Report and patch by David N. Welton

 	  <davidw@users.sourceforge.net>.

 	* The changes below fix [Bug #462317] where Expect tried to read

 	  more than was in the buffers and then blocked in the OS call as

 	  its pty channel driver provides no blockmodeproc through which

 	  the OS could be notified of blocking-behaviour. Because of this

 	  the general I/O core has to take more care than usual to

 	  preserve the semantics of non-blocking channels.

 	  The problem was reported by "Kevin O'Gorman"

 	  <kevin@kosmanor.com>.

 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadRaw): Do not read from the driver if

 	  the channel is non-blocking and the fileevent causing the read

 	  was generated by a timer. We do not know if there is data

 	  available from the OS. Instead of going to the OS for more and

 	  potentially blocking we simply signal EWOULDBLOCK to the higher

 	  levels to cause the system to wait for true fileevents.

 	  (GetInput): Same as before.

 	  (ChannelTimerProc): Added set and clear of CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV.

 	* generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV): New flag for channels. Is

 	  set if a fileevent was generated by a timer, the channel is not

 	  blocking and the driver did not provide a blockmodeproc. In that

 	  case the I/O core has to be especially careful about going to

 	  the driver for more data.

 	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory, NativeStat):  Vince

 	directory CONST poisoned.  These changes should fix that.

 	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs

 	* The change below fixes [Bug #464380]. The bug was reported by

 	  Ronnie Brunner <rbrunner@users.sourceforge.net>. He also

 	  provided the patch.

 	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Moved release of

 	  'tclLibraryPath' to Tcl_FinalizeThread.

 	  (Tcl_FinalizeThread): See above, new place for release of

 	  'tclLibraryPath'.

 2001-09-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* tools/encoding/cp1252.txt: File was missing part of the encoding

 	  [euro, ZCaron and zcaron].

 	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Add docs for Tcl_OutputBuffered; remove some

 	  old changebars.

 2001-09-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): corrected

 	  INST_STR_CMP else case for strings to pass true utf char length

 	  to Tcl_UtfNCmp.

 2001-09-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* win/tclWinInit.c: added extra processor definitions. (mstacy)

 	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThread): corrected pointer cast for _WIN64.

 	* win/tclWinNotify.c: removed unnecessary winsock include (it is

 	  already in from tclWinPort.h).

 	* win/tclWinPort.h: changed winsock.h include to winsock2.h.

 	  Reverses change from 2000-11-16, but is necessary for WIN64.

 	  Extensions should comply with defined OS words, or use #ifndef.

 2001-09-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* tests/socket.test: removed dependence on being run from same dir

 	  as remote.tcl, which only now needs to be in the same dir as

 	  this file.  [Bug #219326]

 2001-09-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclTest.c (TestcmdtokenCmd): corrected pointer

 	  storage/retrieval for 64bit machines.

 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd):

 	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): corrected handling of format

 	and scan on 64-bit machines. [Bug #412696] (rmax)

 	* unix/configure: regen'ed

 	* unix/tcl.m4: added --enable-64bit support for HP-11 with the

 	64-bit kernel.

 	* tests/basic.test:

 	* tests/cmdInfo.test: improved skip reporting of missing commands

 	* tests/winFCmd.test: simplified error check for winFCmd-7.9

 	* tests/winPipe.test: removed obsolete cat16 tests

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed invalid usage

 	of valuePtr in TRACE_WITH_OBJ in INST_EVAL_STK case. [Bug #462594]

 	Changed INST_STR_CMP instruction to promote to Unicode strings

 	only when one of the strings is already of Unicode type.

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):

 	* generic/tclCompile.c (instructionTable):

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): INST_STR_MATCH -

 	Updated to Int1 instruction type and added special case to use

 	INST_STR_EQ instead when no glob chars are specified in a static

 	string.

 	* tests/{for.test,foreach.test,if.test,while.test}:

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForCmd, TclCompileForeachCmd,

 	TclCompileIfCmd, TclCompileWhileCmd): Corrected the overaggressive

 	compiling of loop bodies enclosed in ""s.  [Bug #219166] (msofer)

 2001-09-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: insured that execution stack errors are

 	also detected at abnormal returns.

 2001-09-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* doc/socket.n: Added documentation to mention what happens when a

 	server socket is created with port=0.  Removed an old change bar,

 	and no new change bar because Tcl has always behaved this way as

 	it is really a poorly-documented standards-defined OS feature.

 	* tests/util.test (util-8.1): Test derived from code to detect the

 	problem, but the test always works in the C locale, so beware if

 	you are maintaining the code.

 	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclNeedSpace): Rewrote to be UTF-8 aware.

 	[Bug 411825, but not that patch which would have added extra

 	spaces if there was a real non-ASCII space involved. ]

 2001-09-18 Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

 	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Rewritten to have saner and

 	  faster argument handling.  Fixes bug #123552. Patch provided by

 	  Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>: #402564.

 2001-09-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/configure: Regen.

 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): On Linux, disable inlining when

 	one of the compat/*.c routines is to be linked in. [Patch 440891]

 2001-09-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tcl.h: removed forced #define USE_TCLALLOC 1 for

 	Windows.  This means the native system allocator will be used by

 	default.  This should be binary and source compatible with

 	extensions, as Tcl_Alloc is a properly stubbed function.

 2001-09-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: corrected small bug in [Patch 456668] -

 	the varFramePtr was not restored in one possible exit.

 2001-09-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* doc/tclvars.n:

 	* generic/tclCompile.c:

 	* generic/tclCompile.h:

 	* generic/tclExecute.c:

 	* generic/tclProc.c: disabled all compile and execution tracing

 	functionality in standard builds; TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG is now

 	necessary to enable it. [Bug 451858]

 	* win/Makefile.in:

 	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: Fixed version numbers from bogus tcl

 	  versions to independent versions for dde and registry packages.

 2001-09-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* tests/regexp.test (regexp-20.1):

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): had to adjust fix from

 	2001-08-06 to actually duplicate the objects in certain cases.

 	This is really a place where feather would have been essential.

 	[Bug #461322]

 	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfPrev): corrected to return the proper

 	location when the middle of a UTF-8 byte was passed in.

 	[Tk Bug #450504]

 	* ChangeLog.1999:

 	* ChangeLog: broke changes from 199x into ChangeLog.1999 to reduce

 	  size of the main ChangeLog.

 2001-09-13  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/ioCmd.test: Changed the computation of the result for

 	  iocmd-8.1[123] so that the tests work for single- and

 	  multi-process execution of the testsuite. Depending on the

 	  choice of the user stdout is a tty or not and thus reports

 	  different channel options. Fixes [460993] reported by Don

 	  Porter.

 2001-09-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* doc/ParseCmd.3:  

 	* generic/tcl.decls:

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObjCmd):

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclParse.c:

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* tests/parse.test: Deprecate the use of Tcl_EvalTokens, replaced

 	by the new Tcl_EvalTokensStandard. The new function performs the

 	same duties but adheres to the standard return convention for Tcl

 	evaluations; the deprecated function could only return TCL_OK or

 	TCL_ERROR, which caused [Bug 219384] and [Bug 455151].

 	This patch implements [TIP 56].

 2001-09-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/configure: Regen.

 	* unix/tcl.m4: Invert the logic that checks for $GCC.

 	Instead of checking for "$GCC" = "no" we check for

 	"$GCC" != "yes" or simply swap the true and false

 	blocks of code in an if statement. That way if

 	GCC is set to "" everything will still work. [Bug 460991]

 2001-09-12  Don Porter <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/appendComp.test:

 	* tests/lsearch.test:

 	* tests/namespace.test:

 	* tests/rename.test:

 	* tests/split.test:  Corrected tests to better isolate tests in

 	one file from influencing tests in other files.  [Bug 460591]

 2001-09-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tcl.decls: reserved stub #481 for the implementation of

 	[TIP 56]

 2001-09-11  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added documentation for Tcl_WriteRaw and

 	  Tcl_ReadRaw [#414929].

 	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_ChannelBuffered

 	  and Tcl_GetTopChannel [#414929].

 	* The changes below are a fix for [219253].

 	* tests/socket.test: Removed _most_ instances of hardwired port

 	  numbers for listening sockets. Remaining are the ports in all

 	  tests with constraint 'doTestsWithRemoteServer'. These seem to

 	  be designed for a more controlled environment and are usually

 	  skipped when running the testsuite.

 	* tests/io.test: Removed all instances of hardwired port numbers

 	  for listening sockets.

 2001-09-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclInExit): Corrected handling of tsd in

 	late stages of finalization.  [Bug #419449] (darley)

 	* tests/stack.test:

 	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): Check the numLevels to ensure

 	that we aren't hitting some alias loop condition.  [Bug #443184]

 2001-09-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/configure: Regen.

 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't include . characters

 	in the Tcl library name when building on FreeBSD 3.X and later

 	systems. [Patch 450725]

 	* doc/Tcl_Main.3: 

 	* doc/CrtChannel.3: 

 	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: 

 	* doc/GetStdChan.3: Enhanced the manpages with cross-references to

 	  the new manpage and more explanations how these functions deal

 	  with the standard channels in various situations.

 	* doc/StdChannels.3: New manpage describing handling of the

 	  standard channels by the Tcl library [402725].

 2001-09-10  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/mkLinks (Tcl_FSLink): Updated to reflect 2001-08-23

 	file system changes.

 	* unix/tclLoadShl.c:  Added #include of tclInt.h; access to Tcl

 	internals, notably TclpUnloadFile(), is required.  Thanks to

 	Bob Techentin for report and patch.  [Bug 459305]

 	* generic/tclInitScript.h (initScript):

 	vestiges of Tcl's old initialization from registry variables.

 	[Bug 455645]

 2001-09-10  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclInt.decls: Also added 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to

 	  the internal platform specific stub table.

 	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Now added the call to

 	  'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to this function. I don't know where

 	  my head was last thursday (2001-09-06), but the call was

 	  actually added to 'TclpObjChdir', i.e. the implementation of

 	  [cd]. Corrected this now. Thanks to Vince Darley for spotting

 	  this.

 2001-09-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclProc.c:

 	* tests/proc.test: made [proc] bytecompile a no-op for procs

 	defined with _args_ as single argument and an empty body.

 	[FQ 451441] 

 2001-09-09  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* unix/Makefile.in:

 	* win/Makefile.in: Use () around variable name

 	instead of {}. Use TCLTEST variable directly

 	instead of depending on the tcltest alias.

 2001-09-09  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* generic/tcl.h:

 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Reminder from David Cuthbert <dacut@kanga.org>

 	that I hadn't finished the Borland compatibility stuff.

 	[Patch: 436116]

 2001-09-09  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/cmdAH.test: Modify cmdAH-20.5 and cmdAH-24.8

 	to display the file atime or mtime results if

 	the test fails.

 2001-09-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/mkd.bat:

 	* win/rmd.bat: made these text files, text files again.

 	[Patch: 451333]

 2001-09-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* win/mkd.bat:

 	* win/rmd.bat:

 	Apply binary property (cvs admin -kb) to files and convert

 	to CRLF linefeed format to fix the VC++ build. [Bug #219409]

 2001-09-08 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclInt.h: 

 	* generic/tclFCmd.c:

 	* doc/FileSystem.3:

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed Tcl_FSCopyFile fallback

 	to channel copying, since the channels will not have

 	access to interpreters and the channel copying currently

 	requires an interp.  Code which required cross-platform

 	copies always has interpreters, so that solves the problem.

 	Fixes bug in TclKit.

 2001-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/tcl.m4: Added -link50compat option so a VC6 linker makes

 	a VC5 (pre sp3) compatible import library.

 	[Bug: 219257]

 2001-09-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadExit): Cast status argument to

 	_endthreadex to unsigned instead of DWORD to match the Win32

 	function prototype.

 2001-09-06  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* All the changes below serve to fix bug [219148] which reports a

 	  80x performance hit for file I/O on Win* systems. On my system

 	  it was closer to a 120x hit. Problem report by Uwe Traum <no

 	  email address available>.

 	  The fix goes like this: The obstacle is 'FlushFileBuffers',

 	  executed whenever Tcl writes data to the OS, as Tcl has to wait

 	  for the disk to complete I/O, and disks are slow. We remove that

 	  obstacle. This opens another problem, [file size] reports back

 	  wrong numbers. So for [file size] we add the call back in. As

 	  optimization we keep track of the channels which were written to

 	  and flush only these.

 	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Added a call to

 	  'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels'. This ensures that [file size] and

 	  related commands report the correct size of a file even if Tcl

 	  has recently written to it. Unixoid OS's always report the

 	  correct size even for files with pending data, but Win*

 	  syssystem don't. They only report what is actually on disk.

 	* win/tclWinInt.h: Added declaration of

 	  'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels', making it available to other parts

 	  of the tcl core.

 	* win/tclWinChan.c (TclWinFlushDirtyChannels): New, internal,

 	  procedure. Goes through the list of open file channels and

 	  forces the OS to flush its file buffers for all which were

 	  written to since the last call of this function. This is an

 	  expensive operation as Tcl has to wait for the OS to complete

 	  actual writes to the disk.

 	  (FileInfo): Added dirty flag required by the procedure above.

 	  (FileOutputProc): Removed flushing of file buffers, setting the

 	  dirty flag instead. This means that the previously incurred

 	  delays do not happen anymore.

 	  (TclWinOpenFileChannel): Added initialization of 'dirty' flag.

 2001-09-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* doc/http.n: noted -binary, charset and coding state keys.

 	* tests/http.test:

 	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:

 	* library/http/http.tcl (geturl): correctly get charset parameter

 	and convert text according to specified encoding (if known).  RFC

 	iso8859-1 is used by default.  Also recognize Content-encoding to

 	see if we should do binary translation.  Added a CYA -binary

 	switch for the cases that were missed. [Bug #219211 #219399]

 	* tests/ioUtil.test: changed to make better use of constraints and

 	remove knownBug constraints that weren't valid.

 2001-09-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.2): Updated test to support

 	  newer HP-UX releases that properly report euc-jp as the system

 	  encoding for Japanese.  Bug report and patch verification by Bob

 	  Techentin.  [Bug 453883]

 	* doc/http.n:

 	* library/http/*.tcl:

 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:

 	* tools/tclmin.wse:

 	* unix/Makefile.in:

 	* win/{Mm}akefile.*:  Updated http package to version 2.4,

 	reflecting the new features just added.

 2001-09-06 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclTest.c: tests of old-fs hooks no longer cause problems

 	in threaded builds.  Also removed unused unload proc.

 	* generic/tcl.decls:

 	* generic/tclIOUtilc: added Tcl_FSMountsChanged so that a vfs

 	can inform the filesystem that the filesystem epoch must be

 	changed (since cached filesystems may now be incorrect).  Fixes

 	problem running tclvfs extension.

 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: if tests aren't in a native

 	filesystem, then don't use pipes to run them. [Bug 458741]

 2001-09-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* generic/tcl.decls (479 generic): 

 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek,Tcl_Tell,Tcl_OutputBuffered): Added

 	public function to return the size of the output buffer and

 	reworked other channel functions to use this shared functionality

 	and that of Tcl_InputBuffered() too. [TIP#49, Rolf Schroedter]

 2001-09-05  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Another small trim finalizing Borland

 	support.

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c:

 	* win/tclWinPort.h:  More Borland compatibility fixes.  Changed

 	EDQUOT #define from 49 to 69.  Borland had a clash as it was already

 	using this number.  Upon advice from Helmut Giese, EDQUOT has been

 	found in other header files #defined as 69.

 	[Patch: 436116]

 	* win/.cvsignore:  A few more glob patterns added.

 	* win/makefile.bc (new):  Borland lives once more! rejoice..

 	* generic/tclAlloc.c: Small Borland compatibility fix.

 	* win/tclWinTime.c:  More Borland compatibility fixes.

 	[Patch: 436116]

 2001-09-05 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/winFCmd.test: made notWin2000 constraint false if not

 	running on Windows at all.

 2001-09-04  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/tclWinThrd.c:  Revisited _beginthreadex() stuff.  Instead

 	of assuming a c-runtime implimentation of _beginthreadex normal,

 	I reversed the logic to not assume, and use when is by explicitly

 	needing to add runtimes that support it such as Borland.

 	* generic/tcl.h:

 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Borland compatibility change so

 	ClientData was properly typed as a void* and TCHAR would not be

 	defined twice.

 	* generic/tcl.h:  Removed a small mistake from before.  Changes to

 	the EXTERN macro for proper Borland compatibility will have to see

 	a TIP.  What's this with the MS compiler:

 		__declspec(dllexport) int func (int a, int b);

 	will have to be this with Borland:

 		int __cdecl __export func (int a, int b);

 	The order of the attribute needs to be after the return type.

 2001-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* compat/strtod.c (strtod):  Fixed failure to handle expressions

 	like 3eq2 and failure to set errno on overflow.  [Bug 440894]

 2001-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclProc.c:

 	* tests/proc.test: made [proc] check that formal args have

 	simple names [Bug 458548] 

 2001-09-04 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	Minor bug fixes in filesystem, plus small vfs changes as a 

 	result of enabling the test filesystem to work properly.

 	* tests/fileName.test: ensure new test cleans up after itself

 	* doc/filename.n: 

 	* generic/tclFileName.c: improved Mac path handling and document

 	why [Bug: 421842] on Windows handling of UNC paths is not valid.

 	Documentation and code now much clearer on what is and is not a 

 	UNC path.

 	* doc/FileSystem.3:

 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c:

 	* generic/tclFCmd.c:

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixed error message, fixed [Bug: 453512]

 	about dangerous use of tmpnam, replaced with mkstemp.  

 	Documented all the changes.

 	* generic/tclTest.c: made test vfs fully functional as a 

 	'reporting filesystem'.

 	* generic/tcl.stubs:

 	* generic/tcl.h:

 	* generic/tclInt.h: 

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:

 	* doc/file.n:

 	* various platform-specific 'TclpLoadFile': fixed comments about 

 	unload behaviour, and completed objectification of loading.

 	Required change to Tcl_Filesystem lookup table, so incompatible

 	with 8.4a3, but not older versions of Tcl.  The change also

 	allows 'link' and 'reporting' filesystems to function correctly

 	when loading files.  Implementation of 'file delete -force'

 	copes with case where cwd is inside the directory.  Moved

 	overlooked Tcl_FSGetPathType from internal to external API.

 	Made sure filesystems which are registered and then unregistered

 	are only freed when all references to them are gone.

 	Documented changes.

 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: when deleting directories recursively,

 	make sure permissions are ok.  Together with the above, this

 	fixes [Bug: 219139]

 	* tests/winFCmd.test: differentiated test results for win2k 

 	versus not.  This fixes [Bug: 219239]

 	* tests/fCmd.test: added tests for 'file delete -force' where

 	the cwd is inside, and when permissions are inadequate.

 2001-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclCompile.c: fixed incorrect operands for INST_LIST

 	[Bug: 458241] (David Cuthbert, dacut@users.sourceforge.net)

 2001-09-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed missing comma

 	in debug macro.

 2001-09-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* doc/ExprLongObj.3: Fixed error in documentation of argument type

 	to Tcl_ExprObj [Bug: 457435]

 2001-09-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* win/tclWinThrd.c:  Portability fix for Cygwin who's c-runtime,

 	not surprisingly, doesn't have the MSVCRT specific _beginthreadex /

 	_endthreadex pair.  This might have to be revisited for proper

 	Borland, lcc32, Watcom and other support as well.

 	[Patch: 444255]

 	* win/tclWinThrd.c:  Moved FinalizeConditionEvent() proto to within

 	the main #ifdef TCL_THREADS block to avoid mingw warning about it

 	being there but unused.

 	* win/makefile.vc:  Added -Zl (zee el) to tclStubLib.c compile line

 	to make sure the tclstub84.lib static library is built without

 	requiring a specific C-runtime library at link-time for the end-use

 	developer.  It has been noted on c.l.t that this trips many first

 	time users trying to make extensions.

 	[Patch: 403533]

 2001-08-31  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclInt.h: added TclCompileListCmd header

 	* generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileListCmd compile proc

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileListCmd): function to compile

 	the 'list' command at parse time.

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): definition of

 	INST_LIST bytecode.

 	* doc/StringObj.3: added words of warning to use Tcl_ResetResult

 	with the Tcl_Append* functions.

 	* tests/compile.test: added compile-11.* interp result checks

 	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): added Tcl_ResetResult

 	before Tcl_AppendStringsToObj to prevent shared object crash when

 	called from bcc instruction.  The Tcl_Append* calls that append to

 	the result object that are invoked by bcc insts must remember to

 	call Tcl_ResetResult because the bcc doesn't do this for us.

 	[Bug #456892]

 2001-08-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c: fixed some casting problems that upset

 	Crays. [Bug #419528] (andreasen)

 2001-08-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tcl.h: Silence warning from Sun compiler. [Bug 454374]

 2001-08-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclExecute.c: allow cached fully-qualified command names

 	to be usable from different namespaces within the same interpreter

 	without forcing a new lookup. This speeds up scripts that pass

 	command names in variables ("this" in some OO packages).

 	[Patch 456668]. 

 2001-08-30 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	Further fs updates.  After examining the most common Tcl

 	extensions (TclX, BLT, Tk, TclPro, Mktclapp), it has been

 	determined that only TclpGetCwd and the Access/Stat/Open

 	insert/delete hooks of the internal fs functions are ever used.

 	The remaining functions from Tcl's internal interfaces have

 	therefore been removed, since Tcl now exports a more suitable

 	public API (Tcl_FS...)

 	* generic/tclInt.stubs:

 	* generic/tclInt.h: updated for removed internal functions.

 	Some new internal functions have been put in tclInt.h (and

 	not exported in the stub table because good public equivalents

 	exist).

 	* generic/tclTest.c: some test functions used the internal private 

 	APIs.  These tests have been retained, but modified to use 

 	public APIs.  Also objectified the internal filesystem tests.

 	* win/tclWinFile.c: removed TclpStat, TclpAccess and refactored

 	code to use NativeAccess, NativeStat.  This should speed up

 	stat, access and glob commands.

 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete 

 	File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more.

 	Improved efficiency of some other procedures. Ensure that filename

 	conversions with a NULL interp do not crash Tcl.

 	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: wrapped long lines and cleaned up

 	TclpObjNormalizePath, removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete 

 	File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more.

 	* mac/tclMacFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir,

 	etc.

 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: removed use of TclpAccess, removed all

 	TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory string-based procedures which

 	aren't used any more.

 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir,

 	etc.

 	* tcl(Unix|Mac|Win)Chan.c: objectified TclpOpenFileChannel.

 	* various 'load' implementations all objectified.

 	* generic/tclFileName.c: removed redundant code.

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed TclStat, TclAccess, TclpListVolumes.

 	Fix to MatchInDirectory at the root of a volume.  Also improved

 	some documentation, and improved default path joining behaviour

 	for virtual filesystems, especially regarding '~'.

 	* tests/fileName.test: added tests to check for bugs fixed above.

 	* doc/FileName.3: improved documentation

 2001-08-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* generic/tclAsync.c:

 	* generic/tclEvent.c:

 	* generic/tclInt.h: Improper cleanup of asyncMutex in tclAsync.c

 	repaired.  TclFinalizeSynchronization() was trying to remove a

 	registered mutex that was dumped earlier when the TSD it was stored

 	in was cleared. This was only surfacing on *nix.  Windows was being

 	masked by mutexes not actually being returned to the system!  That

 	was repaired in a previous patch.  Needed to add a private

 	TclFinalizeAsync() to tclAsync.c and called from Tcl_FinalizeThread().

 	Pheww..  Is this done yet?

 	[Bug: 414419] requested by Rob Ratcliff <rrr6399@futuretek.com>

 2001-08-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclPushVarName): noted 'static' defn.

 	[Bug #453872]

 2001-08-26  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary):

 	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.{1,9}):

 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):

 	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  Corrected 

 	inconsistency between  the search path for script libraries and

 	the directory name $DISTNAME into which distributions built

 	by 'make test' unpack.  [Bug 455642]

 2001-08-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* tests/stringComp.test: added string-1.3

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): changed to return

 	TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR when compiling and an

 	unknown string method is called.  This is necessary as the string

 	command may be never called, or not until 'string' is redefined.

 2001-08-24 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* doc/glob.n: documented windows-style path issue with glob.

 	[Bug: 219392]

 	* doc/filename.n: documented windows path/file length limitation.

 	[Bug: 454597]

 2001-08-24  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.9): Corrected expected result

 	to match Tcl's quirky construction of its init library path.

 2001-08-23  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed tcl Bug

 	  [432499]. Part of the code used the non-absolute path to the

 	  executable to determine quoting. This failed if the absolute

 	  path contained spaces, but the application name itself not. This

 	  bug caused no trouble on Win NT 5, but does for other variants

 	  in the Win* family. Report and fix due to Ken Poole

 	  <kenpoole@users.sourceforge.net>.

 2001-08-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* unix/configure:

 	* unix/tcl.m4: added QNX-6 build support. [Bug #219410] (loverso)

 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:

 	* generic/tclFileName.c: corrected minor compiler warnings.

 2001-08-23 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	Variety of small filesystem and vfs issues fixed or improved.

 	The new fs code allows many new opportunities for efficiency

 	improvements through the objectified API. The main changes

 	integrated here are such efficiency improvements.  Some

 	limitations of the original implementation have also now been

 	lifted.  Meanwhile a variety of fs bugs (some old, some new)

 	have also been fixed.

 	* generic/tclFileName.c: Made Tcl_FSSplitPath more efficient, 

 	and removed some static string-based procedures which are no 

 	longer used.  Much more objectification.  Tcl_FSJoinPath

 	is now very efficient and more aware of virtual filesystems.

 	Clarified where the Mac-specific code attempts to interpret

 	Unix-style paths.  Modified TclDoGlob to use lstat not

 	access to fix [Bug: 434876, L. Virden]

 	* tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)FCmd.c:

 	* tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)File.c: replaced TclpListVolumes with

 	TclpObjListVolumes with different signature, updated code due

 	to more efficient signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath.  Used

 	cached native paths where possible to improve efficiency --

 	this was completed on MacOS, but on Unix and Win the traversal

 	functions make the task much more complex, so there are still

 	some improvements possible there.  Removed unused 

 	TclpNormalizePath which had been left in tclWinFCmd.c.

 	Objectified all 'file attributes' functions.  Fixed the new

 	[Bug:451571, Bruce Stephens] which is most obvious on Unix, 

 	but could occur on MacOS or Windows.  This bug actually existed

 	in Tcl 8.3.x but was only made obvious by the recent filesystem

 	overhaul when the code was exercised more heavily.  

 	* tests/fileName.test: Three new tests to exercise the above bug,

 	and make sure it is fixed correctly.

 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: avoid panic in glob when a link

 	doesn't point anywhere.  It would probably be good to define

 	exactly what Tcl should do in circumstances like these, and

 	make sure mac/win/unix all behave accordingly. [Bug: 417111, 

 	Hemang Lavana]. Also fixed misleading/obsolete comment in the code.

 	* generic/tcl.stubs: changed signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath

 	and added Tcl_FSGetTranslatedStringPath.

 	These changes allow further optimisations in the FS code.

 	* generic/tcl.h: changed signature of Tcl_FSListVolumes so that 

 	it doesn't require a Tcl interpreter plus result.  Renamed 

 	Tcl_FSReadLink to Tcl_FSLink with additional argument so

 	we can support making links in the future. [Patch: 450340]

 	* generic/tclInt.h:

 	added declaration for TclpObjListVolumes.  Objectified 

 	internal call signatures for 'file attributes' functions, and

 	added an internal objectified get path type function.

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: added the moved function TclpListVolumes 

 	which calls platform specific code (needed for backwards 

 	compatibility), and improved efficiency of parts of the FS

 	(particularly file normalization).  Much less copying and

 	memory allocation is required now.  added new GetPathType 

 	so that changes in 'file volumes' can actually affect files'

 	types, and objectified more code.  Made current code work

 	with test suite artificially changing current platform.

 	Added 'static' keywords where required.

 	* generic/tclIO.c:

 	* generic/tclTest.c: Added 'static' keywords, fixing 

 	[Bug: 453872, Bob Techentin]

 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: file command implementation updated for 

 	API changes, removed unnecessary special-case SplitPath static

 	function, since it no longer helps prevent code duplication.

 	Moved setting of interpreter result to each individual location

 	that actually required it, to avoid very large code separation

 	between reading and setting the result.

 	* doc/FileSystem.3: updated documentation for the new or 

 	changed APIs, and clarified some issues.

 	* doc/SplitPath.3: added pointer to newer APIs in FileSystem.3

 	* doc/filename.n: clarified current implementation of tilde

 	support on Mac/Win.  [Bug:453514, Sergey Kuzmin]

 	* doc/glob.n: improved documentation for '-directory' and '-path' 

 	options.

 	There are now many private, obsolete, platform-specific 'Tclp' 

 	string-based filesystem APIs which could be removed.  We should

 	check whether any of these are used by extensions and, at least

 	in Tcl 9, remove them.

 	The above changes signify a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** 

 	with 8.4a3, since signatures of two functions in the new API 

 	have changed, but not with older versions of Tcl.

 2001-08-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Extract a long from the

 	object and not an int, to stop [binary format] from being unable

 	to format some input numbers on architectures where sizeof(int) is

 	less than sizeof(long) (particularly Alpha.)  [tiprender Bug #441861]

 	* tests/format.test: Converted conditional execution of tests into

 	a test constraint.

 2001-08-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* win/Makefile.in:

 	* win/makefile.vc: updated install target for dde1.2

 	* doc/dde.n: fixed dde man page (which was totally incorrect).

 	* tests/winDde.test:

 	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): added -binary option to dde

 	request command to allow for returning binary data. [Bug #227482]

 	Updated dde to 1.2

 	* tests/tcltest.test: added unixExecs constraint to files that

 	used 'grep' in the test. [Bug #453143]

 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: fixed stdio constraint test.

 	[Patch #454050] (stanton)

 	Simplified unixExecs constraint test. 

 2001-08-22  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/ioUtil.test (ioUtil-3.*): Corrected errors in tests

 	revealed by fix of overagressive compiler.  [Bug 451200]

 2001-08-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:

 	* tests/compile.test: Fixed overagressive compilation of [catch]:

 	it was catching errors at substitution time. [Bug #219184]

 2001-08-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* tests/tcltest.test (tcltest-12.2): fixed test that would break

 	when env vars weren't Tcl list friendly [Patch #454046] (stanton)

 2001-08-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* library/http/http.tcl (geturl): added port number to Host:

 	header to comply with HTTP/1.1 spec (RFC 2068).  [Bug #452217]

 2001-08-16  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:

 	* tools/tcl.hpj.in:

 	* win/tcl.hpj.in:  Removed -kb storage in CVS to ensure these text

 	files are checked-out in the translation mode CVS is in.  Setting

 	these as binary as part of an effort to make sure they are always

 	in CRLF, no matter what the CVS translation, is bypassing how CVS

 	works and is confusing.

 	* tools/genStubs.tcl:  Removed LF-only output.  Having to reconvert

 	back to CRLF before committing to CVS was giving me a headache.

 	[Bug: 451333]

 	* win/makefile.vc: replaced $(WINDIR) with $(include32) for the

 	.rc.res inference rule.  winver.h wasn't getting included.

 	[Bug: 445630]

 2001-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclBasic.c: make the intial maxNestingDepth of an

 	interpreter be MAX_NESTING_DEPTH instead of a hardwired value

 	[Bug: 232564]

 2001-08-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* tests/trace.test: Corrected test numbers [Bug: 449794] 

 2001-08-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* unix/configure: Regen.

 	* unix/configure.in:

 	* unix/tcl.m4: Use GCC variable set by AC_PROG_CC instead

 	of defining our own using_gcc variable.

 2001-08-11  Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

 	Variety of small issues introduced by the vfs code fixed:

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: uninitialised read.

 	* generic/tclFCmd.c: possible memory leak in file delete 

 	with error condition.

 2001-08-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclVar.c: 

 	* tests/trace.test: Insure that [array] traces work correctly for

 	undefined variables [Bug: 449094] 

 2001-08-09  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* unix/Makefile.in: Delete the unused getcwd.o

 	target. This fixes bug #440942.

 2001-08-08  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	CVS snapshots from the 8.4a3 release.  This does not necessarily

 	mean there will be an 8.4a4 release.  [Bug 448938].

 2001-08-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	8.4a3 RELEASE

 	* changes:

 	* README:

 	* mac/README: 

 	* unix/README:

 	* win/README.binary: updated for 8.4a3 release

 	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_FSSplitPath): update to Tcl style

 	guide.

 	* generic/tclFCmd.c (FileCopyRename): fixed mem leak in

 	introduction of vfs code where a new Tcl_Obj wasn't freed.

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd, Tcl_RegsubObjCmd):

 	reordered the retrieval of arguments to avoid shimmering bug when

 	the pattern and string referenced the same object.

 	* unix/configure: regenerated

 	* unix/tcl.m4: added GNU (HURD) configuration target. (brinkmann)

 	[Patch: #442974]

 	* win/README: made note of URL for Windows compilation notes

 	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeMutex, TclpFinalizeCondition):

 	added DeleteCriticalSection calls for cleanup [Patch: #419683]

 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): fixed use of tmpnam,

 	which is dangerous. [Patch: #442636] (lim)

 	The use of tmpnam in TclpTempFileName must still be changed.

 	* tests/http.test (http-4.14): fixed variable error return.

 	[Bug: 424252]

 2001-08-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* win/configure: regenerated

 	* win/tcl.m4: fixed DLLSUFFIX definition to always be ${DBGX}.dll.

 	This is necessary for TEA compliant builds that build shared

 	against a static-built Tcl.

 	* win/Makefile.in ($(TCLSH)): added $(TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE) to build

 	target, otherwise it wouldn't get generated in a static build.

 2001-08-06  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Applied patch from SF item

 	  [442665] to fix the bug reported by it. The function can corrupt

 	  a freed object if it is called with objc == 3. This is because

 	  it retrieves resultPtr and does not increment its reference

 	  count, but then calls Tcl_ObjSetVar2, which causes the retrieved

 	  resultPtr object to be released.

 2001-08-06  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* doc/tclsh.1:  Added note that the tclsh program is frequently

 	installed with the Tcl version numer as part of the name.

 	[Patch 402725]

 	* generic/tclPkg.c:

 	* tests/pkg.test:  [package forget] now forgets all of the

 	package arguments it receives, not stopping when a package is

 	not found.  [Bug 415273]

 2001-08-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory): corrected

 	uninitialized value.

 2001-08-02  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:

 	* win/tclWinPort.h:

 	Revert <tchar.h> related changes made to improve

 	Cygwin support on 2001-07-18. This change ended

 	up breaking the VC++ build because of conflicts

 	between Windows APIs and internal Tk APIs.

 2001-08-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: minor casts to eliminate warnings. (lim)

 	[Patch: #440218]

 	* tests/parseOld.test: changed some tests that required

 	testwordend to exist to skip in a proper tcltest manner.

 	[Bug: #442663]

 	* library/http/http.tcl (http::mapReply): the regsub'ing of \n and

 	\t to escape them was unnecessary.

 2001-07-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): Close Windows

 	HANDLE returned by _beginthreadex. The MS documentation

 	states that this handle is not closed by a later call to

 	_endthreadex.

 2001-07-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* doc/pkgMkindex.n:

 	* library/package.tcl:  Corrected documentation and usage

 	message of [pkg_mkIndex].

 2001-07-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Define TCHAR by including

 	windows.h instead of tchar.h since Cygwin does not

 	support the tchar.h header. Include CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS

 	logic from tclWinPort.h.

 	* win/tclWinPort.h: Remove CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS logic.

 	Remove include of windows.h since this now done it

 	tclPlatDecls.h.

 	* win/tclWinReg.c: Remove duplicate include of windows.h.

 2001-07-18  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclIO.c: Aftermath to [SF #427196]. Squash empty buffers

 	  if they are smaller than the requested buffersize, to prevent

 	  reusage of old buffers and to honor changes in the requested

 	  buffersize made by the user.

 2001-07-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpReadlink): Add Cygwin specific definition

 	for the TclpReadlink function. This method implements reading of

 	symbolic links when build with Cygwin.

 2001-07-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* win/tclWinPort.h: Add Cygwin specific defines for environ

 	and timezone variables.

 2001-07-17  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclIO.c (GetInput): Fixed [SF #427196]. Memory was

 	  overwritten because a buffer was used after a change of the

 	  requested buffersize together with that requested buffersize and

 	  not its actual size, which was smaller. Note that the continous

 	  reuse of the smaller buffer negatively impacts performance. The

 	  system never allocates a buffer with the newly requested bigger

 	  buffersize.

 2001-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* generic/tcl.h: Define __WIN32__ when

 	__CYGWIN__ or __MINGW32__ is defined.

 	* generic/tclAlloc.c: Define caddr_t when

 	compiling with VC++ or mingw. This type is

 	already defined when compiling with Cygwin.

 2001-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* win/tclWinConsole.c:

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c:

 	* win/tclWinPort.h:

 	* win/tclWinSerial.c:

 	* win/tclWinThrd.c:

 	Remove unnecessary #includes of dos.h, direct.h,

 	and tchar.h. This will help the Cygwin porting

 	effort since these headers do not exist under Cygwin.

 2001-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): constrained the mutex lock to

 	just the TerminateThread call and waiting for termination. (jsmith)

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Removed extra copy of the SCAN_* macros

 	#defined in generic/tclScan.c. (porter) [Bug 441230]

 2001-07-12  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8): Added extra constraint,

 	notInstalledInTmp, to stop this test from damaging installations

 	in /tmp; not much fun to have to reinstall the Tcl library every

 	time you run the test suite!

 	* tests/subst.test (subst-10.*): Updated tests to check new

 	behaviour for 'break' in command substitutions.

 	(subst-1.2,subst-7.1): Error messages changed.

 	* doc/SubstObj.3: New file, to document Tcl_SubstObj.

 	* doc/subst.n: Improved and updated documentation for 'subst' to

 	help support the changed behaviour.

 	* generic/tcl.decls (generic-437): Declaration for Tcl_SubstObj

 	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_SUBST_*): Added flags for Tcl_SubstObj.

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj,Tcl_SubstObjCmd): Divided into

 	two parts to allow people to access the innards of 'subst' and

 	changed the behaviour when command substitutions do a 'break' to

 	be different from 'continue'.  Also now works with objects, which

 	allows for some nifty optimisations with variable substitutions

 	and a slight improvement with command substitutions.  [TIP#36]

 2001-07-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* unix/Makefile.in: Add AR variable for use in STLIB_LD.

 	* unix/configure: Regen.

 	* unix/configure.in: Use STLIB_LD when defining MAKE_LIB

 	and MAKE_STUB_LIB. Subst RANLIB and AR.

 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add doc comment about

 	STLIB_LD command. Check ${AR} env var when setting

 	STLIB_LD and delay evaluation until make time.

 	* win/configure: Regen.

 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Delay evaluation of

 	${AR} in STLIB_LD and add flags to better match the

 	Unix implementation. Don't bother defining AR when

 	using VC++ since it is not used.

 2001-07-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* win/configure: Regen.

 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -e _WinMain@16 in

 	addition to the -mwindows flag to work around a problem

 	with ld when it incorrectly use main() as the executable

 	entry point when both WinMain() and main() are available.

 2001-07-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* tests/cmdAH.test: Added leading zero to file modes to work

 	around fault in HPUX strtol() which ignores the base parameter

 	[Bug #438808]

 2001-07-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* win/Makefile.in: Subst DEPARG directly instead

 	of relying on a variable. This will make Cygwin

 	builds faster since an extra exec will be avoided.

 	* win/configure: Regen.

 	* win/configure.in: Subst DEPARG.

 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Move AC_MSG_CHECKING

 	after the AC_CHECK_PROG so that status messages do

 	not get mixed together. Set DEPARG based on the

 	results of the cygpath check so that we avoid using

 	an extra exec when it is not needed. Use ac_cv_cygwin

 	status flag instead of looking at the output of

 	gcc -v, which works in the case where -mno-cygwin is

 	set in the CFLAGS.
