I remember from the earlier days of tcl, when I was looking around for at least a decent interpreted language, preferably with user interface component for a HP UX (hp720) based job, for which I had made some X stuff but with quite old widgets and without much of menus, that the tcl interpreter used 4 bytes (an integer) for storing a character.
Come to write about it, I don�t know wether I gathered that would be for storing just one char in source or var, I guess I somehow assumed that was the general idea.
Anyone who knows wether that is the case at present ?
