I think I got this warning from VC++ 6.0 too, it did not seem to break
anything.

Perhaps the problem is that you did not tell the ide where to find
the source files for Tcl. After you attach to the running process I
think there is an "open sorce file" option of something. Once you open
the first source file the debugger should be able to open the others
automatically. I can't remember the exact option or pulldown but you
should be able to figure it out.

Just create an empty "single executable" project and then set the
full path name of tclsh80d.exe in the debug tab, then run the debugger.
This should start up Tcl inside the debugger and open up the Tcl source
in the debug display. I have done this before and it works just fine.
