This as an extension to add text-based UDP datagrams to Tcl 7.4+ or in this case Tk 4.2. It will work with Tcl without Tk and has been tested on Solaris, OSF1, Linux, and SCO Unix. I have replaced UDP_recv and UDP_send on my projects with versions that read/write our binary structures and that should be an easy change for anyone else to do. Please send any bug reports to msmiller@acm.org Michael Miller, msmiller@acm.org
