Subject: README: Tcl-URL! - the weekly guide to Tcl resources (Feb 8)
Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 08:02:18 -0700

Bryan Oakley managed to hijack the newsgroup this week for a lengthy
exchange on how best to provide usable documentation; some good insights
if you're into that sort of thing.  Megawidget fans can also enjoy
the thread on how to provide the best support for building new widgets.

    Freshmeat is an extremely popular service you can use to announce 
    your Tcl extensions (and other software) specifically to Linux users
        http://freshmeat.net/appindex/development/tcl-extensions.html

    Sean Woods posted a Tcl channel driver for accessing serial
    ports on the Macintosh

    Bryan Oakley kicks off a discussion about using a Tk text
    widget dump as a quick-loading documentation viewer, in 
    conjunction with XML, man pages, Windows help and others

        http://x16.dejanews.com/thread/440684551

    The "Widget Wish List" thread also brought up many issues with
    regard to megawidget implementation approaches
        http://x16.dejanews.com/thread/438750321

    Scott Stanton describes how "file extension" will be corrected
    in upcoming Tcl releases
        http://x16.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=439952701

    David Welton released mod_dtcl, an Apache module allowing you to
    add Tcl code to your HTML pages
