Re: [Dltk-dev] FS/OSS debugger for TCL?

No, I know of no technical reason that it would not work.  I was under
the impression that it is not licensed for no cost.  I'm not against
paying for tools but, I am investigating no cost solutions before going
to the boss with a purchase request.  I'll go look for licensing
information on the ActiveState website.

By "direct download" do you mean it is licensed for no cost?
