Memchan is an extension library to the script language Tcl, as created by John Ousterhout. Memchan provides several new channel types for in-memory channels and the appropriate commands for their creation.

They are useful to transfer large amounts of data between procedures or interpreters, and additionally provide an easy interface to on-the-fly generation of code or data too. No need to [set] or [append] to a string, just do a simple [puts].

What's New in This Release:
tools/mpexpand
Added new tool. Linux/ix86 starpack containing a doctools processor.
tools/nroff_regen
Rewritten to use mpexpand for most
tools/manpage_regen
conversions. The conversion to HTML
tools/rules/manpage.html.site
for the website still relies on the old expand system. Writing a good formatting engine for that, even if derived from the doctools HTML engine takes more time than I want to invest right now. Rewriting the rules file instead. That was less work.
doc/fifo.man
The original contents were written
doc/fifo2.man
in a precursor format to doctools.
doc/memchan.man
Now rewritten to conform to the
doc/null.man
doctools specification.
doc/random.man
