Tcl-URL!
QOTW: "But, with reference to the wiki article headline, lest I be associated with the writers of unreadable code and users of unspeakable tricks, it wasn't Perl that I had in mind but Awk." - Bill Poser in reply to Glenn Jackman on on c.l.t http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/msg/5bb6ad08... "JS makes W3C irrelevant. Assuming HTML + DOM + CSS gives you all the display possibilities you need under browsers (which I will postulate) then the addition of JS (or tcl) makes W3C irrelevant. That's the thesis." - Colin McCormack POTW: Ann Getleft 1.2b1 by Andres Carcia http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/t... Getleft is a web site grabber written in Tcl/Tk, given an URL it will download the whole site or, at least, the part of it that fits the options given by the user.

TIPX: new, used and discarded Tips nothing new here, walk on to next week! ATTC: At the Core: [TCLCORE] Fwd: tk8.5 & tile ... http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=31... PMAG: Tcl in printed and other Media: Preview: ActiveState's multilingual IDE Komodo evolves http://weblog.infoworld.com/tcdaily/archives/2007/01/prev... Thanks to Arjen Markus for his Wiki report: It is heartwarming to see so many applications created at least partially with Tcl/Tk on the Wiki ... but let us not forget the techniques used to bring them to the world! Why? - Why introduce new control structures? Partly because Tcl makes it easy and partly because this is useful. <http://wiki.tcl.tk/685> - Why use Tcl with command-line not unlike Perl's or AWK's? Maybe because so many people want that. But don't forget the inreractive shell Tcl provides without any fuss! <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17599> - Why contemplate an operating system that only uses Tcl for scripting? Well, it is fun to consider what you need for this task. And what do you know? Etlinux is almost such a system - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/16116> Testing, 1, 2, 3 - TkXext is an extension that is meant to help automating arbitrary applications. Well, at least applications based on the X Window System. <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2116> - So there you are with your cell phone and a whole bunch of messages ... How do you archive them? Here is a nice little tool: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17538> - Visualising sounds? It is not impossible, as oscilloscope enthousiasts know. <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8021> - We can even use BLT to implement an oscilloscope, at least it is able to handle large amounts of data quickly! <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17511> - Scanning the recent changes your chronicler stumbled across a page he had completely forgotten about. Good thing the Wiki has a better memory ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/12387> Everything Tcl-related you want is probably one or two clicks away in these pages: The "Welcome to comp.lang.tcl" message by Andreas Kupries http://www.purl.org/net/tcl-welcome comp.lang.tcl is a crucial resource for Tcl practitioners. An interesting perspective on its traffic appears at http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/about The Tcl Developer Site is Tcl's "home base". http://www.tcl.tk Larry Virden maintains a comp.lang.tcl FAQ launcher. http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/ The Tcl Developer Xchange is a highly organized resource center of documents and software with provisions for individuals to maintain references to their own software: http://www.tcl.tk/resource/ The TDX sponsor, ActiveState, also keeps info to convince your boss Tcl is a good thing http://www.tcl.tk/scripting/ The Tcl'ers Wiki is a huge, dynamic, collaboratively edited repository of documentation, examples, tutorials and pontifications on all things Tcl. http://wiki.tcl.tk/0 For the ideal overview of the topics about Tcl most likely to interest a newcomer, see "Arts and Crafts ..." http://wiki.tcl.tk/969 There's also a high-quality Wikibook on Tcl: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Tcl ActiveState maintains binaries distribution and development tools http://www.activestate.com/Tcl along with a Cookbook of Tcl recipes http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Tcl deli.cio.us presents an intriguing approach to reference commentary. It already aggregates quite a bit of Tcl intelligence. http://del.icio.us/tag/tcl Cameron Laird tracks several Tcl/Tk references of interest (but needs to validate many of the links). http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/ Years ago, Cetus Links maintained a Tcl/Tk page with verified links http://www.cetus-links.org/oo_tcl_tk.html "Yahoo! Groups" archives comp.lang.tcl.announce posts--even though clta itself is dormant. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tcl_announce/ We're working on more useful archives of past installments. In the meantime, an alternative is http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&as_q=+Tcl-URL&... Suggestions/corrections for next week's posting are always welcome.
