It is okay for a Python-script not to be recognized by "file" that way, it is enough that I can do it, if I need to. But file should recognize this for Tcl, because it is common there. And if it needs to work for Tcl only, one can construct a simple mechanism for "file" to check this. Stephan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
