+0. Preface
+----------
+This is a pre-release of 8.0.3, tcl_patchLevel "8.0.3-1"
+we expect the 8.0.3 release to continue to change with the adoption
+of more patches, etc. This release is being made early to help
+with the Consortium CD project. Please do not advertise or
+circulate this release widely. If you have problems, please figure
+out a fix and include a patch or a lot of detail, then send
+email to <bugs@scriptics.com>
+Brent Welch

+Summary of changes:
+1. Scriptics changes to support its packager, which is similar in
+spirit to the stand-alone applications built by the plus-patch, but
+goes farther by putting more hooks into the file system access routines.
+2. Scriptics changes to support its byte-code reader and writer.
+3. Miscellaneous bug fixes to windows socket code.
+4. Various bug fixes derived from Victor Dukhovni's "jumbo" patch described
+on http://www.scriptics.com/resource/download/patches/tcl80p2/
+5. Jan Nijtmans compatibility change to the signature of Tcl_EvalObj.
+This works with gcc but is untested with other compilers.
+6. Patches to support [incr Tcl]. We expect changes in this area.
