That's an odd statement. If you have the ability to edit and run them,
you can test them. tcltest is 100% pure tcl. In fact, if you can run
them via your web server, you can run tests *in* your webserver. Just
drop the tcltest source code wherever you can access it (read: in the
same file or directory where PROPER_CASE is defined) and off you go. Of
course, you can also test them via tclsh if you have that available.

As for testing them at home, I bet even the slowest PC you can find that
is still running is sufficient to run tcltest for a modest number of tests.

I don't mean to be telling you how to work. It's just that these errors
were so trivial to reproduce that it seemed like a beginners mistake. No
offense. I just didn't think you were aware of some of the options
available to you.
