SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl
package require cas 0.2
namespace import ::cas::*
randAZChar
randAZazChar

strUnique str ?length? ?uStr?
DESCRIPTION
A Tcl extension that provides a set of character and
string utility procedures.
COMMANDS
randAZChar
Returns one random character in the range A-Z.
randAZazChar
Returns one random character in the range A-Za-z.
randAZazString
Generates a string of random characters in the
range A-Za-z, of length length.
strUnique str ?length? ?uStr?
Returns an uppercase string not in str.
str: String to check.
length: Length of string to generate, defaults to 8.
uStr: A potential unique string - if supplied, use
it and its length at start of search, and ignore length.
Throws an error if unable to generate a unique
string after 100 attempts.
CAVEATS
I didn't update the docs for this version. There's a
bunch of procs for ASCII art stuff. Maybe other things.
Next version should have better docs. Look in the source.
The file taa_test.tcl should show how to generate the
ASCII art stuff.
