Subject: Re: [9fans] Start of Tcl Port to Plan 9
Date: Mon,  7 Apr 2003 20:18:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030407201822.28022.qmail@mail.dirac.net> (raw)

Does anyone know much about Inferno's version of Tcl?

In "Official" Tcl, typing
puts $tcl_version
would print the version number; failing that, it would report that the variable tcl_version has not been set.  Inferno's Tcl instead prints
$tcl_version
so I'm guessing that it is not closely related to the "Official" Tcl.  However, it might be an easier starting point for a port, since the compiler, and the native UTF-8 support, will be similar to Plan 9.  Tcl has had Unicode support since v8.1, but this is a late add-on to the project, at the application level.
