Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL!

QOTW:  "The thing to remember about Computation Theory is that Turing Machines
don't have GUIs and they don't respond to external stimuli." -- Donal K. Fellows

"Programming: the only art form that fights back... =)" -- Larry Smith


POTW:  People like Perl and PHP for DBI and the latter's convenient
database-awareness.  People apparently don't realize that TclDB, at
0.9, is pure Itk, and handles roughly the same range of databases.
And TclDB builds in a graphical database designer!

    Who better than Dennis LaBelle to explain exactly how to be
    effective with freewrap?

    tclodbc depends on g++ rather than gcc.

    Hotkeys, shortcuts, icons, bindings, widget classes, actions,
    ...--Gerald Lester and Donald Arsenau provide practical advice
    on making them work for you.

    Sure, "Tcl-URL!" weekly celebrates clarity.  A sufficiently
    exasperating .sig can still encode executable line noise, 
    though.
