Re: Older versions (was: launching wish from tclsh)

Hi,
ActiveState support addressed me to the correct ftp site:
http://ftp.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/

Now, I've installed Tcl 8.3 and the script finally works as long as I
use all the other suggested workarounds:
1) check the content of auto_path for wish83 (Ixia edition)

2) add that content to the content of auto_path for tclsh83 ( lappend
::auto_path ...)

3) define the following procedure:
proc console args {
        puts "CONSOLE: $args"
    }

4) now, I can successfully require IxTclHal package and my script runs
correctly merging STDIN capabilities of Tclsh (not present on wish) and
IxTclHal packages (originally built for wish).

Note: the very first workaround to my problem (launching wish from
tclsh) is still valid if one needs to automatically launch wish console
(or others) after executing some operations with tclsh console for
similar reasons. And in my case that workaround is still valid in case
I wanted to use tcl 8.4 in place of tcl 8.3.
I'm going to get in touch with Ixia in order to ask for compatibility
updates of the software with newer versions of wish (from 8.4 on) and
maybe explain the problems I've been through recently.

I just want to thank you all the people who joined this Topic and
helped me out.
I learnt a lot!
