Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL!

QOTW: "[N]ot everyone is fortunate enough to have happened upon the perfect
job where Tcl/Tk is a given." -- David N. Welton

"[T]he source code for Tcl is available so that people can implement their
ideas of the 'right thing', work out the bugs, and then contribute it back
to the community." -- lvirden@yahoo.com


POTW: eGraph 1.0a8 by Jacob Levy.  "e4Graph is a C++ library that allows
programs to store graph-like data persistently and to access and manipulate
that data efficiently."   Note that this means graph in the topological sense
of "vertexes and edges", not the pictorial sense of "lines on a chart".

     A very popular request: A single scrollbar managing two scrollable
     widgets.  As usual, the answer to this (and all of life's problems) can
     be found at the
         wiki: http://mini.net/tcl/.

     More regexp wizardry made manifest in "Long regexp".

     Tcl/Tk is so extensive that something like this has happened to all of
     us: We need to, for example, break a long menu into multiple columns,
     and we have no idea that something like -columnbreak exists!  Part of
     the problem is knowing the right terminology; in this case, searches on
     "wrapping" would have been relatively unproductive, I think.

     When iterating over groups of elements in lists (or well-formed
     strings), "foreach" is your friend:

     How to get list of all toplevel windows.   Some readers will no doubt
     be surprised to learn that "set foo [foo]" doesn't clobber [foo]!

     Lengthy discussion of a freshmeat article on "GUI Toolkits for
     The X Window System":
