    THanks, Alex,
    yes, we prepared integration of tzint into the tcl zint package.
    The tcl-only code is already there. The rest is missing...

    Take care,
    Harald

    Hi Harald,

    The first step for me was to make all packages compatible with Tcl 9.
    The second step will be to modernize the packages themselves — that part
    is still coming.
