Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL!

QOTW:  "My guess is that the pid table size will increase faster than the
ability to start processes." -- Gerald Lester

"People will always want to print books, but they are a vanishingly small
proportion of the real document tasks." -- Colin McCormack


POTW:  SIMPL provides Synchronous Interprocess Messaging.

    Yes, it's pleasant enough using ActiveTcl for your own work,
    but what happens when it's time to deliver to a customer?  As
    much as possible--and remember, of course, that "Tcl-URL!" is
    not a lawyer--ActiveState's license provides that what happens
    is exactly what should happen:  you pay modestly for a few 
    pieces, and use the results freely.

    You recognize that an associative array has no determinate
    order.  You *want* it to, though.  Neil Madden and Roy Terry
    exhaustively detail the possibilities.

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his report from the Wiki(s):
  A lot of attention to Tk-related subjects this week on the Wiki.
  So, let us start rightaway.
  
  Widgets and GUIs
  - If you have a really large set of items to show, how would
    you do that? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/4547>> addresses that 
    question ...
  
  - Testing your GUI? Let TkReplay help ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/209>>
    claims it is available for Windows too.
  
  - One of things you can do with Snit is shown on this page -
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/13416>> - with an update for Tile too.
  
  - Designing a GUI? Let the links in <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14074>>
    lead the way.
  
  Toys
  - Get the picture from your digital camera - it is all possible
    with Tcl - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14314>>
  
  - Just a tangram-like puzzle game - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8887>>
  
  - Joining a list of lists of lists of ... Why not? 
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/10916>> holds an amusing little script
    

Everything Tcl-related you want is probably one or two clicks away in these
pages:
