Hello all,

Does VecTcl work with Tcl9? If not, are there any plans to update it so it can? I see there is an old fork on github, but there are no binaries available for me to quickly test.

 Hi Jacob,
 unfortunately, this masterpiece is orphaned. The creator, Chrisitan G., does not plan to continue.
 Brian Griffin did a proof of concept using the new Tcl Obj interface, which allows to directly pass a vectcl number (float, bignum) to a Tcl number without passing by a string representation and vice versa.
 I am sure, Christian will assist anybody in the transition, but does not want to do the work himself.
 I already tried to motivate Torsten Berg to look into that...
 Thank you all,
Harald

Harald,
Thank you for your response. I find the package very useful as well. Much of my work in tcl involves matrix operations on large datasets and translating code I first write in matlab. Vectcl is perfect for this. I will stick with 8.6 for now.
Thanks,
Jacob
