Unless you loaded it into an editor that converts line endings for you? 
Or downloaded it via FTP in the wrong mode?

Lots of ways *that* can get screwed up.

And yes, I had the same problem I ran across in one of my programs. I 
have no idea how it passed the tests in the previous version of Tcl I 
was using and failed them now. It should have failed all along. (Create 
a bunch of files. Delete some. Scan the results. You'd think the "are 
the two different" would have failed when passed the "original" list 
twice, yes? :-)
