Re: Package unloading

Have you tried using "package forget"?

Yes. That seems to convince the interpreter that the package is no longer loaded, but doesn't actually delete the namespaces and procedure definitions that it created. auto_path still contains the paths to the files. All the procs in the package are still in the interpreter so they still run.

I was hoping there was some easy way to back out all that stuff, or to force the next "package require" command to go and reload the tcl file from the disk. Is there an easy way to re-source the file without having to type its full filename (which is this case is enormous)?
