Subject: Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links (Apr 10)
Date: 10 Apr 2000 16:40:45 -0500

"Let's do the time warp again..." a delayed posting covering the last
week in March. 

    Some quotes on quoting, and substituting something for
    substitutions:
        http://x42.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=604427478
        
    Exec'ing in the background - friend or foe? Some thoughts
    and observations on deviant exec behavior:
        http://x24.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=604514605
    
    Does anyone have JINI in a bottle for Tcl? A few 
    considerations are uncorked and passed around:
        http://x22.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=604351962
               
    A Thread on Threads, forking off into methods of 
    implementation within current extensions:
        http://x46.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=604369898
        
    A box, or a box within a box within a box... discussions
    on redundancy within 'package require':
        http://x40.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=602334625
        
    From the "I'm sure we've talked about this before, but.."
    department - What do you use to write your scripts that 
    gives you syntax checking/highlighting? More folks want
    to know...
        http://x28.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=603335672
        
    Winner of the "mutant thread" award, it starts out as a
    discussion on automated welcome 'bots for c.l.t., but gets
    occasionally meta-physical with some help from Laurent, Bob, 
    and Andreas 'The Dragon':
        http://x45.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=603140836
    
    In the "it's not a religious discussion, honest" department,
    thoughts and personal views on Tcl and Java comparisons.
        http://x42.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=602184221
    
    In the "well, it might have been useful if I wrote up the
    Tcl-URL on time" department - the Silicon Valley Tcl Users 
    Group was to be held April 4. No URL provided, because 
    unless you have a [before] command, it already happened.
    
    As Wierd Al Yankovic would say - "Ya wanna be a hacker, 
    code-cracker, slacker?" The Michael McLennan "Who wants to
    be a tcl-hacker" contest/gameshow files are available for
    download:
        http://x21.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=604708466
