Setup and usage suggestions are also welcome. This is a problem with some versions of tclsh (release 8.0 patchlevel 0, I believe). If you run the version of tclsh that is built as part of the toolchain, or any later version of Tcl, then everything should work as per the documentation. Bart Veer // eCos net maintainer
