Yes, me 2 last year. But since I rarely have any use
for blocking
play, I didn't bother to report a bug back then :-/ Ralf

One generally does open source stuff because it's fun or
interesting.
SOAP is neither. - Pat Thoyts

ANNOUNCE: ADB and ADBSQL pure-tcl database engine for
Tcl/Tk by
Roalt Aalmoes
ADB together with the MySQL database connectivity module
adbsql are a
Tcl/Tk package useful for Tcl/Tk programmers that want
to store their
data in a database-kind of way with tables and fields.
Two (optional) features of ADB that may make it
worthwhile for you:
* Writing the database as XML output and later of
course the ability
to read it.
* Connecting directly to a MySQL database.
The fun part of ADB is that you can either use it as a
full pure tcl
library, or you can use these advanced features that
require
additional packages.
Both modules are released under open source LGPL or BSD
licenses (your
pick)

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly reports on the Wikis:
The Wiki gnomes are diligently unearthing old pages - what
gems
they turn up! Let us start the summary rightaway.
Tiny games and demos
- Once you have a basic design, it is easy to change
the theme and come up with a different looking
application.
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/4801&g
t; is an example
- But even if you have a good basic design, it pays to pay
attention to some details. For instance to get a better
performance: <http:/wiki.tcl.tk/8711>
- Chess is a difficult game to learn and to play well.
But that is not the point: in just a few lines of code
you can have a GUI and play against some unseen
opponent:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/8708&g
t;
- Translating human languages ... that (once?) elusive
goal of
artificial intelligence. With some aid from a human a
computer
_can_ come a long way - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/11458
>
Web initiatives
- A new Tcl module for Apache - wtcl - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/18117
>
It promises to be simple.
- A new fun project on a related subject: what would be
needed
for a "Tcl on Rails"? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1808
8>. With a lively
discussion of all imaginable details.
Faits divers
- References to data and garbage collection ... done as an
extension ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/11090
> for gourmets who
appreciate technical details.
- Remember the chemical periodic system from your
schooldays? Well,
here it is in a neat Tcl program: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/18111
>
(With a few worthy tips on font management)
Everything Tcl-related you want is probably one or two
clicks away in these
pages:

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