"Every program has a realtime constraint. When the user
gives up, it's
over, the inefficiency has made the program
incorrect.--Wrong, but
funny.--It's only funny until the user gives up." -

    ANNOUNCE: InstallJammer Multiplatform Installer 1.1
Released!
	http://groups.google.com/group/co
mp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/thread/1755bea29744452c
    InstallJammer is a free, open source, multiplatform
    GUI installer and builder designed to be completely
    cross-platform and function on Windows and most all
    version of UNIX with eventual support for Mac OS X.
    This is the first major enhancement release since the
initial
    1.0 release of InstallJammer over 6 months ago.  It
includes
    many new features and tons of bug fixes.  A lot of hard
work
    went into this release.  I hope you enjoy it!

    ANNOUNCE: TclRAL Version 0.8.1
	http://groups.google.com/group/co
mp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/thread/1b6ecc1215d8b401
    I'm please to announce the availability of Version 0.8.1
of TclRAL, a
    relational algebra library for Tcl. Version 0.8.1 is an
incremental release
    that is backward compatible at the script level. There
have been a number
    of code base improvements.  Several new commands were
added that experience
    indicated were useful. Several commands have new
optional arguments. The
    biggest new feature is relvar tracing. It is now
possible to define a trace
    on a relvar and intercede in the relvar operation.  A
new package
    called "ralutil" is included that contains
some useful procs. The "ralutil"
    package is, in places, quite experimental as subject to
interface changes.
    There is no documentation yet for the
"ralutil" package, but that will come
    later as the interfaces stabilize.

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his Wiki report:
  The French Wiki may not see as many edits as the
international
  one, but it is worth to look at it from time to time, even
if you
  are not fluent in French ...
  
  Tcl applications in French 
  - The page <http://wfr.tcl.tk/1096>
 has a few examples of
    French-spoken applications.
  
  - Viewing HTML via Tk? Well, there is Tkhtml of course,
which
    in its latest incarnation supports CSS (<http://wiki.tcl.tk/4102&g
t;)
    but the "hview" script is a nice wrapper
(<http://wfr.tcl.tk/736>)
  
  Web things
  - A simple parser for RSS - no guarantees, but it may be
of use
    to you: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17211
>
  
  - Is Wub the successor to Tclhttpd? Well, at the very
least it is a 
    web server that owes a lot to Tclhttpd. Check it out for
yourself:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/15781
>
  
  A fistful of logic
  - Puzzles are fun - even to a computer. So see if you can
beat it.
    <http://wiki/tcl/tk/17666
>
  
  - No dictionary is ever complete ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17686
> 
    presents some useful utilities for dicts.
  
  - Producing cross tables: a whole variety of solutions.
One uses 
    TclRAL to deal with the data as logical relations.
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17688
>
  
  - Somebody mentioned the J-word on the Wiki! The even
fascinating 
    issue of "generators" provoked the mention of
the infamous 
    pair longjmp()/setjmp() - ignore that part and read the
rest:
    <http:/wiki.tcl.tk/17629>
  
  
Everything Tcl-related you want is probably one or two
clicks away in these
pages:
    The "Welcome to comp.lang.tcl" message by
Andreas Kupries
        http://www.purl.o
rg/net/tcl-welcome
    comp.lang.tcl is a crucial resource for Tcl
practitioners.
    An interesting perspective on its traffic appears at
        ht
tp://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/about

    The Tcl Developer Site is Tcl's "home base".

    Larry Virden maintains a comp.lang.tcl FAQ launcher.
        http://www.purl.org/
NET/Tcl-FAQ/

    The Tcl Developer Xchange is a highly organized resource
center
    of documents and software with provisions for
individuals to
    maintain references to their own software:

    The Tcl'ers Wiki is a huge, dynamic, collaboratively
edited repository
    of documentation, examples, tutorials and pontifications
on all things 
    Tcl.

    For the ideal overview of the topics about Tcl most
likely to
    interest a newcomer, see "Arts and Crafts
..."
        http://wiki.tcl.tk/969
    There's also a high-quality Wikibook on Tcl:
        http://e
n.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Tcl

    ActiveState maintains binaries distribution and
development tools
        http://www.activestate

    along with a Cookbook of Tcl recipes
        http://
aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Tcl

    deli.cio.us presents an intriguing approach to reference
commentary.
    It already aggregates quite a bit of Tcl intelligence.

    Cameron Laird tracks several Tcl/Tk references of
interest (but
    needs to validate many of the links).

    Years ago, Cetus Links maintained a Tcl/Tk page with
verified links
