The Tcl_File is gone in Tcl8.0 and this means that there is no
platform independent API anymore to put a socket into the Tcl event
loop. There are ways to work around this (see my postings and the
responses from the Sun guys in comp.lang.tcl on this subject). This
means that porting to the final 8.0 version will require non trivial
changes, at least if you want to support Windows NT platforms and UNIX
systems in a nice way.
