>Description:

From Paul's message:

bsd/os 2.1 ships with tcl 7.4 and that has no main() -- so in test.c...

      #define IS_TCL_7_5 ((TCL_MAJOR_VERSION * 100 + TCL_MINOR_VERSION) >= 705)

      #if IS_TCL_7_5

    should be:

      #define _TCL_MAIN ((TCL_MAJOR_VERSION * 100 + TCL_MINOR_VERSION) >= 704)

      #if _TCL_MAIN

    bsd/os 2.1 ships with tcl 7.4 and that has no main() -- so in test.c...
 
 Before we make this change, I want to make sure that it really is Tcl
 7.4 that does not have a main() and not BSD/OS's *version* of Tcl 7.4
 that does not have a main().  I find it unlikely that we would have
 made this mistake, although it is possible we went from Tcl 7.3 to 7.5
 and so never noticed exactly when the change occured.
 
 I think source dists for several previous version of Tcl are still
 available on the net.

 I've just pulled over the TCL 7.4 sources, and it looks like we're safe
 on that score.  The changes file has the following:
 
 258. 5/20/94 The tclsh main program is now called Tcl_Main;
 tclAppInit.c
 has a "main" procedure that calls Tcl_Main.  This makes it easier to use
 Tcl with C++ programs, which need their own main programs, and it also
 allows an application to prefilter the argument list before calling
 Tcl_Main.
 *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
 
 ....
 
 ----------------- Released version 7.4b1, 12/23/94 ------------------
 
 So I think we're safe on this score.
 
 It looks like whoever put in the #ifdef initially wasn't careful about
 checking the Tcl changes file.  Unlike a ChangeLog file, most recent
 tries are at the *end* of the file, not at the beginning, so I suspect
 someone got confused and looked at the wrong version release boundary.
