No relation at all. I am still hoping that a future Tcl version will
support UDP channels which will make the udp command obsolete (much
like the tcp command has been removed from scotty-2.1.0).

We started to port but I currently do not have access to a NT machine
so I would be surprised if the code compiles and runs without any
problems. If someone compiles the code on NT, please send me your
patches. It would be nice to have a platform independend UDP API in
Tcl so that we do not need to invent our own one. If someone goes to
the Tcl/Tk workshop in July, please ask for it.
