Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links

QOTW:  "[yield] is an alternative to [vwait] which does not suffer from
nesting problems." - Donald Porter, in the on-going series of commentaries
on co-routines


    Donal and others compare flavors of OO in light of 8.5 and 8.6 advances.

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his (mostly) weekly summary of Wiki action:
  Our faithful Wiki contains, as usual, a wide variety of new/updated
  pages, with subjects ranging from the mundane to the arcane. See
  for yourself.
  
  Low-level stuff
  - While Tcl itself is a high-level language, there is no problem
    descending to C ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20123> uses an embedded
    C compiler.
  
  - Or even lower than that: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20286> experiments
    with assembly code.
  
  Manipulating your email 
  - Here is a small tool to edit your incoming mail. Its purpose
    is specific, but the technique should be generic enough:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24086>
  
  - And can you remember your IP address? Here is a little
    tool that reminds you of it - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24079>
  
  Some graphics
  - Tired of the standard GUI themes on Linux? This may
    be a nice addition: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24094>
  
  - A simple game, simple rules and endless puzzling,
    sudokus for the ascetics: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24093>
  
  Yet another coroutine application
  - Within Tcl you can define your own control structures.
    That is a known fact. But use coroutines and see how
    elegantly you can define them: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24090>
    

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

    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://www.cetus-links.org/oo_tcl_tk.html

We're working on more useful archives of past installments.  Dave 
Williams generously is building up
