'''Notes on using the [Tcl Extension Archive] client - [TEAcup]''' You've installed [ActiveTcl], ensured that the executables are in the search path of your shell, and you're looking at a command prompt. I'm using Windows XP, but you could be using MacOS X or any of the different flavours of Unix. C:\Documents and Settings\Alastair Davies>tclsh % set auto_path C:/Tcl/lib/tcl8.5 C:/Tcl/lib C:/Tcl/lib/tcllib1.7 C:/Tcl/lib/tklib0.2 {C:/Documents and Settings/Alastair Davies/Teapot/repository/package/win32-ix86/lib} {C:/Documents and Settings/Alastair Davies/Teapot/repository/package/tcl/lib} % exit The last two elements of this list are new. The Teapot folder in my home directory has been created during the installation of the latest release of ActiveTcl. (I am using release 8.5.0.0.272633.) Teapot contains a repository folder, which contains an INDEX and a config file, but there is no package folder yet. You'll use the TEAcup client to manage the extensions, packages or modules in that folder.

Maybe you want to grab a copy of the [dict] extension, in order to be able to use your 8.5 scripts in an 8.4 installation.
