# This is the 'comm' package written by Jon Robert LoVerso, placed
# into its own namespace during integration into tcllib.
#
# Note that the actual code was changed in several places (Reordered,
# eval speedup)
#
#	comm works just like Tk's send, except that it uses sockets.
#	These commands work just like "send" and "winfo interps":
#
#		comm send ?-async? <id> <cmd> ?<arg> ...?
#		comm interps
#
#	See the manual page comm.n for further details on this package.
