Hi Vadim,

Note that I=E2=80=99m no longer with ActiveState myself, so my opinions =
are very independent. ;)

As this is just about a 32 v 64 bit load issue, I would recommend that =
people be aware of that in some level of documentation, with pointers to =
whatever the appropriate matching combo for their install would be. I =
think ActiveTcl will remain to be 64-bit only =E2=80=A6 so it=E2=80=99s =
nice there is a 32-bit option.

Regards,
Jeff

ActiveTCL (together with its teacup) became harder to use, therefore lot =
of binary builds have appeared: IronTCL, BAWT, etc.
