Re: ANNOUNCE: tclcsv 2.4.2 released

If you are happy with tcllib's csv, I would suggest keep using it. Always easier to distribute Tcl than a binary.
What tclcsv gives you other than speed, is more options for configuring the CSV dialect (delimiters, quoting method, headers etc.), a feature to guess ("sniff") the dialect, and a Tk preview widget (a la Excel CSV import) - see https://tclcsv.magicsplat.com/#tclcsv_dialectpicker

 I was unaware of this.  When would I use this rather than the CSV package
in tcllib?  Is it a case of more efficient, or are there other differences?
