The porting of the first tcl8.6.20 commands to ATL8.5.20 has been successfully completed.
The following commands have been ported: try/catch/finally, throw, lsearch, lsort, and lassign.
ATL8.5.20 inherits the "tests" directory from tcl8.6.20, ensuring that all "possible" tcl8.6.20 commands run identically under ATL8.5.20. The goal is maximum compatibility with an estimated 20% speed advantage by eliminating the "dead end" of NRE and TCLOO.
