It has been a relatively quite week, with a lot of effort focused on getting
the last few nits out of Tcl/Tk 8.2(b3) prior to final.

    Call for Papers : Tcl2K Conference (deadline Sep 1 99).
    Please give serious consideration to contributing a paper - it is
    a great opportunity to not only share ideas but meet people who
    share a common interest.
