Subject: Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links (Oct  2)
From: Andrej Vckovski <andrej.vckovski@netcetera.ch>

    John Ousterhout and others report on the current status
    of the Tcl Core Team charter.

    Dan Kuchler notes how to properly http::cleanup a HTTP request
    using the http package to avoid leaking memory.

    Juergen Schoenwaelder gives a hint how to check MIBs 
    before trying to use them with scotty
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=674688608

    There's a new project at SourceForge for accessing Jabber (an
    open-source instant messaging system) through Tcl. Take a look at
        http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabbertcl

    A long thread on platform-independent installers, scripted
    documents and more ways to deploy your applications:
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=674890124

    Dan Smart proposes fundamental changes to Tcl lists, parsing
    and substitution rules. This thread gets (once again) into 
    discussing evolution vs. revolution and the pace of Tcl
    development.
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=674977027

    Lothar Scholz proposes an extension for multi-column listboxes
    for Tk 8.4.  He make comparisons with existing implementations.

    Andreas Kupries mentions his ParseTools. That extension
    gives you access on the Tcl level to internal parsing routines
    (e.g., Tcl_Parse). Great if you do your own development tools.

For the Newbies:
    Want to do Web applications with Tcl? Here's a thread
    giving a (probably incomplete) list of alternatives
        http://deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=674345496
    
    Ever wanted to make application-modal dialogs in Tcl?
    Here's yet another example how to grab things.
