Nothing is working over here, so I can't tell if things make it
out or not.  Sorry if this is seen twice (or not at all for that matter).

If anyone is interested in playing with Tcl, the primary ftp site
is ftp.cs.berkeley.edu  directory /ucb/tcl

tcl7.3.tar.Z is the latest release of Tcl
tk3.6.tar.Z is the latest release of Tk 

There are some very nice demos that come with Tk.

A tutorial book is also included in book.p?.ps.Z.  Note this is very 
large, and will be released by Addison-Wesley in the next couple months.

There are no official plans for using Tcl in GRASS, but I am hoping that
there will be enough interest in doing so.  If the vector plans (and 
possibly database and visualization) continue as they currently are, Tcl 
will be used extensively in them.

There is currently no one working on xgrass at CERL.
