    Wondering how to get a Tcl script to run from within a Java program,
    or something along those lines? Maybe you want the tcljava project
    at SourceForge, maybe you want the Runtime exec method within
    Java... for all sorts of answers, look through this thread:
        http://groups.google.com/groups?ic=1&th=40ac49f6c28ce966
    
    A quick reminder - if you have access to a mac and compiler, and
    would like to help out, TIP #11 is in need of someone to try out
    Todd Helfter's Tk patch. Any volunteers?
    
    What to do if you want the equivalent of "wm state . zoomed", but you're
    not running on Windows? Turn to the Wiki algorithms, of course - how to
    maximize your windows:

    If it's not all Greek to you, it may be Chinese. Richard provides
    useful Wiki links for folks dealing with Chinese characters and
    encodings which may be a little non-standard:

    Feeling the bite of a bytecode bug? If you're not sure what's happening
    to give you TclExecuteByteCode execution errors on Windows, you may
    want to look at the bug Neil's talking about:
        http://groups.google.com/groups?ic=1&th=b4303ca8aacb40ef
    
    Trying to drag a window around while it has overrideredirect set to 1?
    Well then this is the information you're looking for to solve your
    problem:

    Daniel Steffen announces an updated version of Jim Ingham's Macintosh
    sampleextension-0.2 to link against the stub libraries and produce a
    single binary for both PPC and CFM68k processors. Get the binhex'd
    package from:
      http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/Mac_sampleextension-0.2.1.bin
    
    Frederic Bonnet announces major changes to the TkGS font project, all
    available on SourceForge at:
        http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkgs
    
    Looking for a programming challenge? How about a Tcl version of the
    DECSS Perl code posted recently? Of course, you'll need to know a
    little about the algorithm, but hey, that's what makes it a challenge!
        http://groups.google.com/groups?ic=1&th=30572d2d82fb16fd
    
    Do you need TclLib to be compatible with older versions of Tcl? Some
    of the procedures require "[string ...]" and format functions available
    only in 8.2 and later. Make your voice heard if you have a desperate
    need...
