Yes, this is being discussed right now as Tcl bug #1201171, right?

Did the 8.5 build I made a few days ago work?  Or am I mixing up  
things?  The discussion of the #1201171 bug seems to be Linux-based,  
while this is about Windows.

That won't work in the general case, you just got lucky ;)

The info call returns a list of all mounted filesystems.  At this  
stage it *looks* like there is only this one, but is that always the  
case?  Also, since it's a list, should it be done using the  
following, perhaps?
     vfs::filesystem unmount [lindex [::vfs::filesystem info] 0]

Which URL is this?

Here is fine, but you should subscribe to this mailing list.  Mail  
from unsubscribed submitters gets thrown into a pool which large  
amounts of junk mail.  It is only by chance that I saw this and  
passed it through.
