Hi Folks,
I'm a relative newbie to tcl/tk and have only ever downloaded and installed from the pre-built binaries. My application needs some of the features from 8.6 but requires UDP to talk to other parts of the system (only available in 32 bit library I believe).
Is there a way I can use the two together? Is the only way to download the source for 8.6 and build a 32-bit version (something I've never attempted but will do so if it will get these two to behave).
Kind regards...

You did not say what platform.
For Windows binaries, you can use either the magicsplat or BAWT
distributions for both 32- and 64-bit Windows. I'm not sure whether
ActiveTcl or IronTcl include udp or the availability of tcludp binaries
for other platforms.
To build from source, the source repository is at
https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcludp.
Afaik Tcl 8.6 and both 32- and 64-bit builds are supported.

Thanks for such a rapid and helpful response...
I am using Windows and ActiveTcl with a separately downloaded UDP package. I'll start by taking a look at the other distributions and, when feeling a little more confident, will attempt to build my own from source (never attempted before).
Thanks once again and Happy Christmas!

One other small tidbit. For compiled extensions, the "bit-size" must

match between the Tcl runtime and the extension library. So a 32-bit
Tcl runtime needs 32-bit compiled extensions, a 64-bit runtime needs
64-bit compiled extensions.
This is generally not a problem if you compile everything yourself (as
you'll generally compile them all the same absent extra effort to
cross-compile), but does matter when downloading pre-compied runtimes
and pre-compiled extensions.
