Subject: Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links (Aug  6)
From: "Hall, Leam" <LHall@rosenbluth.com>

    Karl Lehenbauer sums up the window of opportunity in the
    "Quote of the Week":
      We're out on the track, we're running good and the
      green flag is out.  The language is going into the
      hands of an eager core team.  Now is the time to
      STEP ON THE GAS.  Do stuff to make it easier to
      build, release, obtain and run Tcl and extensions
      on every interesting-enough architecture.

    To make this happen, Michael McLennan is coordinating the
    community voting for the Tcl Core Team. Visit
        http://www.tcltk.com/opentcl
    consider the people, and participate. Most of the candidates
    have made significant postings on comp.lang.tcl
        http://www.deja.com/group/comp.lang.tcl

On the technical side:
    George Peter Staplin shows how to have two listboxes
    share the same scrollbar.

    Besides giving us the "Quote of the Week", Karl Lehenbauer
    talks about a "kinder, gentler" memory error and a possible way
    to fix it.

    Bob Techentin gives us a quick example of using SWIG to
    extend tclsh.

    Cameron Laird points to Perl's "State of the Onion". This
    thread has provided much food for thought; including notes on
    other scripting languages, and even a contribution from Guido
    van Rossum! (author of the Python Language)
