QOTW:  "Tcl doesn't work ... it [plays]." -- Miguel Sofer

"The number one bug I see in other people's Tcl code is failure to
account for the possibility that a file name or pathname may have a
space in it.

Come on people!  Pathnames can have spaces in them!

Even on Unix!" -- Stephen Huntley


POTW:  TclRobots is "based on an old version of tcl, but ... it's ...
a really cool game!"
    http://www.nyx.net/~tpoindex/tcl.html#TclRobots


    ActiveTcl 8.4.11.0 is available.

    "Tcl/Tk ... [is] a nice Macintosh development framework", thanks
    to Jim Ingham, Daniel Steffen, and others.
