Tcl-URL! - 1999/10/12

by Cameron Laird - DejaNews: [1]

The schedule for the next Tcl Conference will be finalized any moment now. Stay tuned.

• Along with the usual flow of free Tcl software which appeared this week on the 'Net, Scriptics announced a new e-business commercial product (see DN533266038)
• Open Source practitioners continue to work out different possibilities for co-operation. Scott Redman explains Scriptics' growing responsibility for the infrastructure supporting OraTcl, Tcl Blend and Jacl, and Winico (see DN534521976)
• Bill Schongar and Anders Nygren illustrate healthy package preparation, and the deceptiveness of pkg_mkIndex's need to load *everything* (see DN534824424)
• Maurice Diamantini works around a still-mysterious failure of entry and text widgets to recognize diacritics properly (see DN535295687)
• Paul Duffin reports on experience with stubbed extensions: they have the advantages originally expected, and are even better for backlinking than thought before (see DN535292596)
• James Ingham describes the rather unsatisfying state-of-the-art of TEA and generation of "makes" on different platforms. This looks like an opportunity for an energetic volunteer to make a difference, at least in documentation (see DN535509596)
• Paul R. Lambert diagnoses a problem he had in convincing Tcl and Visual Basic to play nicely, and offers several illuminating examples on how to reach happy endings (see DN535486756)
• Earl Johnson http://users.erols.com/earl-johnson/ms_shell_setup.htm and Bill Schongar (see DN534325853) make straightforward and handy use of Tcl's register

    capabilities to automate Win* operations
