More great business news from Scriptics. There were also several threads on development models for the overall community that are worth a read. Be sure to check out Paul Duffin's "stubs" mechanism noted below. Not online yet, but Usenix members should look for the January special issue of ;login: containing several Tcl articles (thanks Peter Salus!). What do you mean, not a member? Join!
