For some reason, I chose to port the old release of Tcl to Plan 9,
rather than the most recent with all the new features.

It fails a number of tests, mostly to do with exec and out of the
ordinary file I/O (pipes, sockets and the like), but it does pass
a surprising number of them.

Should anyone feel that the skinny version of Tcl is worth having,
please contact me.

hi
I ported 8.3.5 before - http://www.geocities.com/will5514
for me a lot of the "network tests" failed because the loopback
address 127.0.0.1 was not defined in plan 9, but they do work
regards

Should we collect these things on contrib?

I have to admit, the older TCLs were leaner and meaner;
more useful as a repl library.
