    Did you know...? Pinebush Technologies (www.pinebush.com) uses Tcl

    Usually Tcl news is related to Tcl-the-scripting-language versus
    Tcl-the-embedable-language-interpreter. If you are struggling with
    embedding a Tcl interpreter in a Microsoft C++ GUI application, this
    thread might help you over some of the hurdles, and also point you to
    interesting work by David Gravereaux:
