The first part of the NeoWebScript port I'm working on (hard).

The beast comes as part of one GIANT tarball including the
entire NeoWebScript as well as outdated Apache, gd, Tcl, itcl,
TclX, db-2 (no kidding!), etc.

This part is a set of general purpose commands and procedures,
which can be used (and appreciated) by regular TCL scripting --
not just web-oriented inside NWS.

This port is built without the available LDAP support -- our
openldap2 port used db3, but the db-support in NeoTcl only
works with db2. If some db-expert can send me a patch for the
neoXdb.c, the humanity will remember him/her forev^H^H a while.

+Part of the NewWebScript an Apache module that allows webpage
+developers to embed Tcl code into their HTML, creating webpages
+with active content.
+
+This part is a general purpose part of NWS adding many convinience
+commands and procedures, including operating with serial devices,
+Berkeley DB2, and some client/server databases (Oracle, Postgres --
+if you have those installed).
+
+SYNOPSIS: package require Neo
+
+Unfortunately, the authors only distribute a GIANT source tarball
+including the entire Apache, db-2, TCL, itcl, gd, TclX, etc. This
+port will download the whole beast, but will only extract the neotcl
+part of it.
+
+The port is built without the LDAP support. Our port of OpenLDAP2
+uses DB3, and linking both DB2 and DB3 into the same executable is
+too ugly. Some day, Neo will be updated to use DB3, and we will all
+rejoice.
