Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2003-05-09 01:01:35 UTC 
Can you explainly more carefully how to reproduce this, please?

I see:

~% tclsh
% ctype
invalid command name "ctype"
% ctype digit 1
invalid command name "ctype"
Comment 2 Kyle Bateman 2003-05-09 04:00:51 UTC 
Looks like ctype is part of tclX (not standard tcl) so you have to use "tcl" not
"tclsh" to see the right error.  If that doesn't work, try the shell script:

#!/usr/bin/tcl
ctype digit 1

Thanks, reproduced.
Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2004-02-26 07:06:41 UTC 
Seems to be fixed with tcl-8.3.5-1 in FC devel.
Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2004-02-27 04:11:09 UTC 
tclx-8.3.5-1, I mean.
