While working on using TASH on a recent Linux system we found a
problem with Tcl/Tk releases later than 8.4 (for example, Ubuntu 8.04
has Tcl/Tk 8.5).
TASH has three levels of implementation: very thin (a binding to the
C headers using pragma Import, in eg unit Tcl), thin (using more Ada-
like constructs, in eg Tcl.Ada) and thick (exporting Tcl facilities
such as file handling and sparse arrays, in eg Tash.Arrays).
Unfortunately, the thick binding relies on C interfaces that were
never intended to be public and have been hidden (made private) in Tcl/
Tk 8.5 and later, and there doesn't seem to be a way round this
without a lot of work.
Are there any TASH users out there who have strong views on this?
whose projects depend on Tash.* facilities? If so, comments please,
here or at SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?
forum_id=558610).
