Description: Also known as Environment Modules, this is a dynamic user
environment customization package.
The two contrib files consist of various sample modules developed

auto-installing on Solaris machines and the other are
for various clients. Find patches to v3.0Beta1 at the wustl site.
Currently v3.0 is available. At the metalab site, a version of
3.0.2, ported to Linux can be found. It is actively being updated.
The version at sunsite is a version with a variety of improvements.
It is maintained by R.K. Owen.
Currently at version 3.1.6, under the GPL.

DKF: The set of command supported for customization of this package using Tcl is somewhat smaller than normal Tcl (to allow support for sane unloading of a “module”) in possibly-annoying ways. Beware of this!

Tcl Modules for the
unrelated Tcl 8.5+ module system for loading packages.
Lmod is an alternate implementation written in
Lua (that can still process module files written in Tcl).
