Quotes of the week:
    "Some users might wonder why we did this development in the
    Tcl/Tk environment rather than in Java. The main reason was
    the pragmatic need to get the functionality implemented in
    time for the VLT to come on-line (mid 1998).  However, great
    care has been taken to develop as much as possible with object
    oriented languages (C++, [incr Tcl]), having in mind that the
    future lies in tele-scripting rather in the distribution of
    binary code."
