Subject: Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links (Nov 20)

While anxiety and even anguish over our post-Ajuba Solutions
trajectory continue to fester in some circles, generous programmers
have been posting *great* contributions lately.  Chris Nelson
awarded QOTW honors to Yvette Venter:  "the [clt] newsgroup people
certainly are the most helpful, PATIENT and friendly around."

    Kevin Kenny, Robert Heller, Chris Cox, and others
    explain the significance of PostScript for display
    and its consequences
        http://deja.com/=dnc/viewthread.xp?AN=693813952

    Rolf Schroedter clarifies several advanced topics
    in TclPro use
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=694651383

    Robert Heller shares fine points of freewrapping
    an application with loadable elements
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=694707318

    Tom Wilkason presents a collection of labeled entries
    arranged pleasantly and scrollably
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=694960922&;

    George Peter Staplin embeds an xterm more minimally
    and didactically than either TkSteal or BLT can
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=694526424

    Along with his great Wiki service, Richard Suchenwirth
    occasionally contributes such jewels of exposition as
    this presentation of module packaging alternatives
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=695760443
    It's popularly believed Tcl doesn't have (in the core)
    multi-dimensioned arrays.  Ha!  It has *better* ones
    that Fortran (in a sense that's admittedly mildly
    controversial)
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=693995026

    Hemang Lavana interrogates the namespace resolution
    mechanism in a revealing dialogue
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=694728563

    Andreas Kupries has fun with SourceForge.  He
    presents accepted practice for clearing bugs in such
    hosted projects as Tcl
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=694889570
    and also illustrates that there's far more going on
    with our beloved-but-poorly-marketed Tcl than any
    one person begins to know
