Subject: Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links (Oct 10)
Date:	 Wed, 10 Oct 2001 12:58:53 -0500 (CDT)

QOTW:  "A colleague of mine was looking for a tool to quickly make
prototypes of his biological assessments.  I had my little demonstration
program in Fortran ...  We sat down and within half an hour we had yet
another program  ...  He was impressed."

    IMPORTANT:  The Wiki has changed.  Where you formerly might
    have started research on Tk, for example, at
	http://mini.net/tcl/Tk
    you now must use
	http://purl.org/mini/tcl/Tk

    Posting of TIP #66 stimulates discussion of embedded Tcl.
	http://purl.org/tcl/tip/66

    Syntax coloring and the introduction of zdoc's approach to
    document generation interest many.

    One of the healthiest discussions of object-oriented Tcl
    extensions comp.lang.tcl has ever hosted breaks out.  Two
    easy conclusions:  that Tcl's syntax allows so much OO
    speaks well for the power of simplicity; and XOTcl deserves
    more attention.
