s.out.ascii

Hello,

In tcltkgrass there seems to be the same problem with the 'fs' switch for
s.out.ascii as in s.in.ascii: the switch is not in quotes and therefore
ignored by s.out.ascii. When I try to put the seperator in quotes I get an
error message.

I don't see this behavior. It seems to work the same in tcltkgrass as at
console (except metachars need to be escaped at console \|, etc.). I do
notice the tcltkgrass interface does not have an option for including
the site attribute identifier (# or % or @) in the output.

As to your previous message: the category number should not be
obligatory. However, s.in.ascii has some bad behaviours. It seems to
give you a category number if there's none *and* create a double
attribute with a value of zero. Since the spec says the cat number is
optional, as are any attributes, this is definitely a bug.

I'll look at it and see if I can't propose a fix.
