Dear list,
I'm thinking of using TCL for a development program I'm spearheading.
The documentation for TCL http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TclCmd/try.htm show
that this is available and I need to use it. But with Cygwin's version
I get the following. Why isn't it available?
<code interpreter="tclsh">
% try {
echo "abc"
} on error {
puts "error"
}
</code>
<result>
invalid command name "try"
</result>

Looking at http://www.tcl.tk/man/
it appears that "try" was new with version 8.6,
but Cygwin's version is 8.5:
$ tclsh
% info tcl
8.5
%

Thanks, Ken. Building 8.6 from source now. That did resolve this issue.
