Subject: Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links (Sep 11)
From: "Hall, Leam" <LHall@rosenbluth.com>

    George A. Howlett (BLT author) discusses some of the design theory in BLT.

    Dealing with legacy apps? Kevin Kenny show how to shift output from a
    FORTRAN program into a Tk widget.

    Often, leading "zero" characters can cause issues in scripts.
    But if we need to keep them as is, Gerhard Hintermayer shows how.

    "eval" works with 32 bit numbers. Miguel Sofer discusses getting a modulus
    from 64 bit integers.

For the Newbies:
    Harald Oehlmann shows how to change font size.

    Andreas Leitgeb and Cameron Laird give a couple ways to include an
    updating loop in a Tk widget.

    Kevin Kenny, though, instructively models an [update]-free event-
    based countdown.  This is more truly The Tcl Way:  more reentrant
    and scalable.
