Description: A new channel type for Tcl 8's channel system. Memory channels
conform to the same interface as files and sockets, but the data
is stored in memory rather than in files. They are good for
long dynamic strings and passing large quantities of data.
Supports Window and Unix. See the web page for pointers to the
source and binary downloads.
Currently at version 2.2a1 .
