ActiveState is pleased to announce the third beta release of the
ActiveTcl 8.4.0.1 distribution for the Tcl scripting language. This
release is based on the release-candidate Tcl/Tk 8.4b1 language core
and incorporates the usual standard ActiveTcl module set.

bugs and/or other quirky behavior in the core. You are encouraged to
report anomalies (see Reporting Bugs below).
