Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL!

QOTW: "I'll settle for a scripting language that runs everywhere."
                                             -- David N. Welton

"[T]his newsgroup generally is biased toward simplicity and correctness."

POTW: "The Simple Library" by Juan C. Gil:  "a library of commands and
utilities for Tcl development" written in pure Tcl.

     Scrollbar stalls eventloop?  If you're running Windows, yes it does!

     How to remove minimize/maximize buttons in window?  Several methods
     are suggested for Windows, and the seeker is guided toward
     enlightenment in the ways of window managers.

     Common elements in list of list (aka intersection): it's not really
     a Tcl problem, it's a programming problem, but we're so friendly that
     we'll help out anyway.  If Tcl gets improved along the way, so much
     the better!

     Automatically stopping and restarting a script (actually, the data
     processing performed by a script) according to time of day.

     TIP #142 "Search Path Variable to Lookup Command Names in Namespaces"
     stirs up controversy.  I see two camps: those who want to search "up"
     the namespace hierarchy first, and those who want to search "down"
     first.

     Newbies are often blissfully unaware of how much of Tk's magic is
     based on the widget hierarchy.  For example, a text widget handles
     child buttons differently than sibling buttons.
