There's everything wrong with that picture. I have installed
tcl80p2.exe and tried to use it with Win95. There is precious little
resemblance to the Linux/Unix versions unless you stick entirely to
internal interpreted actions. Since JO touts scripts as "glue
language" there seems little point in dripping your glue onto
unreceptive objects, something like masturbation.
