Subject: README: Tcl-URL! - the weekly guide to Tcl resources (Dec 21)
Date: 22 Dec 1998 14:39:32 -0800

Details on the Tcl2K conference, a must read perspective on Tcl
extension development, a new book available, a big milestone for
comp.lang.tcl, and some interesting new software.  Tcl-URL! will
take a break for a couple of weeks, so we'll see you again in
the new year - enjoy your holidays!

    De Clarke and Tom Poindexter have released more details about
    the upcoming Tcl2K conference.  So what are *you* going to be
    submitting?  Contact someone on the program committee if you have
    questions or need advice about an idea you'd like to write about
        http://www.usenix.org/events/tcl2k/cfp.html

    Frank Stajano's paper in this year's Python conference had some
    useful insights into why he thinks Python's extensions are evolving
    faster and are easier to work with than Tcl's

    Clif Flynt notes the availability of his new book,
    Tcl/Tk for Real Programmers
        http://x11.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=423685630

    Larry Virden notes the 10th birthday of Tcl, and the 8th
    anniversary of comp.lang.tcl this week
        http://x11.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=423118867

    Yet another reason that Tcl is an excellent tool for building
    collaboration software is provided by Mark Lawson, who released
    the TkHiNote extension for accessing Lotus Notes databases
        http://x11.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=422979997

    Tom Poindexter releases his Sockspy program for watching TCP
    conversations, very useful for debugging code using sockets
        http://x11.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=423745445

    The tkAbout program is a front end to common Unix commands
