QOTW:
There are strengths and weaknesses of both models,
threads vs. events.
In my server, there is a natural separation of work,
where events are
the best fit for some work, threads for other work. And
since Tcl has
both, I can use both. John Kelly on c.l.t

Thanks for Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki
action:
A wealth of new pages on the Wiki - with the highest
number
reaching 20000 soon!
Tools and toys
- Splines and convex hulls: these mathematical tools are
easy
to visualise ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/4512&g
t;, <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8536&g
t;
and <http://wiki.tcl.tk/10530

- Alas, sudokus can be solved just as easily as you can
create
your own object-oriented extension in Tcl. To see both
at work:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/19929

Techniques
- Putting the Windows registry to good use, like, say,
finding
out about the enumerations used by a COM object -

- Creating and using your own type of "handles"
to some data ...

- Making a movie frame by frame and thereby making slow
things
fast: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/19921

- Talking of movies, here is an extension to make PNG
files
more lively and portable too - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/19951

Tasks
- One can approach database systems in many different ways
and comparing these approaches is not a sinecure.
