Honestly ... I know how to spell "ANNOUNCE", but evidently not after
10pm and a good whisky. ;)

In the documentation:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActiveTcl/8.4/tpm/toc.html

There is of course a lot more to it, many subtleties and probably some
obvious things we missed. However, start there, and let's see where we
need to fill in the holes.

We us the TEA standard, with threads enabled on Windows and OS X. There
isn't much more to it than that.

I noticed you are mixing documentation is this one. Some of the docs
are for Tcl 8.5 modules and extensions.
