Subject: Re: [Caml-list] New version of the binary installer for Windows

Hi,

> I haven't had a go with it, but will try it as soon as possible. However, it sounded from the description as though it offers to install ActiveTCL by downloading it from the internet and running the installer for you.
Absolutely.

That's an excellent suggestion. I'll give it a try!

Do you have it online somewhere?
