Thanks - we're doing this using pltclu and have been using "source..." for 4
years with no trouble.

Then I have to figure out what to do next - so here's my checklist:

1) Since PL/TCL always looks for pltcl_modules automatically all
interpreters that hit an unknown command will find the entry for "unkown"
which I can rewrite to load my libs keeping in mind the limitations of the
type of interpreter pltcl or pltclu.
2) For our LINUX people, I would guess that they need to run from a shell:
pltcl_loadmod.in myDb unknown.pltcl -host myHost
3) For Windows, I guess I would have to comment out: exec @TCLSH@ "$0" "$@"
then run from the command window:
tclsh pltcl_loadmod.in myDb unknown.pltcl -host myHost

Is this right?

Is there any way for a sub prc to know whether it is running within a pltclu
or pltcl interpreter? I wrote a test proc showing the globals within a
pltclu proc and I don't see anything obvious.
