Great.
Some possibilities that pop into mind where confusion might occur:
1. Does popping up a dialog box (more importantly a progress dialog) via
direct toolbox calls confuse TCL? Do some object in TCL expect to know about
every window in order to operate properly?
2. My error recovery mechanism, although somewhat similar with TCL's, is not
identical. Are there any nonobvious confusion factors that could arise from
that?
3. I have direct calls to Memory Manager functions (NewHandle(), HLock(),
etc.). TCL code, as I recall, expects you to call their memory allocation
routines so that it can take care of the rainy-day fund, critical operation,
and such. Am I going to have to replace all of those calls with TCL
equivalents?
If I were to sit down and think about it some more, I could probably think
up more such issues.
Any more general thoughts? Thanks.
