+This was a new feature as of Tcl7.6b1 and as such I'll started with
+a clean slate.  I currently know of no reproducable bugs.  I often
+get vague reports - but nothing I've been able to confirm.  Let
+me know what bugs you find!
+
+The Macintosh version of Tcl passes most all tests in the Tcl
+test suite.  Slower Macs may fail some tests in event.test whose
+timing constraints are too tight.  If other tests fail please report
+them.

+Known bugs in the current release.
+
+* With the socket code you can't use the "localhost" host name.  This
+  is actually a known bug in Apple's MacTcp stack.  However, you can
+  use [info hostname] whereever you would have used "localhost" to 
+  achive the same effect.
+
+* Most socket bugs have been fixed.  We do have a couple of test cases
+  that will hang the Mac, however, and we are still working on them.
+  If you find additional test cases that show crashes please let us
+  know!
+
+* In Tcl 8.2, the new Regexp code seems to be more deeply recursive than
+the older version in Tcl8.0.  As a result, I have had to increase the Stack
+size of Tcl to 1Meg.  If you are not doing regexps with many subexpressions,
+this is probably more stack than you will need.  You can relink with the 
+stack set to 512K, and you will be fine for most purposes.
+* This regexp problem is fixed in Tcl8.3.  If you are going to do complex
+regexp's, it is probably a good idea to keep the stack size big.  But normal
+regexps will not cause crashes.
+
+* The "clock scan -base" command does not work.  The epoch is wrong.
+* The file mtime command does not work when setting the time, it is off
+by 4 years.
