Subject: Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links (Apr 15)
QOTW:  "Functional languages tend to be monolithic monstrosities." - Donal
K. Fellows, caught in an unguarded moment

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki action:
  Probably your chronicler's bias, but there seems to be a lot
  of interest in communication between processes - if the Wiki
  is any reliable measure. Well, let's see ...

  What's in a name
  - Anyone else with a good name for the one new syntactical
    element in Tcl 8.5? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/19707> discusses
    various possibilities to call {*} ... uh, something.

  - If you have some Latin homework, that is, translate Latin
    text to English, check this out: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20997>

  Tools for your kit
  - Convert an XML file into a PostScript file for printing ...
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2741>

  - An arms' race in compression algorithms. Can anyone beat
    Lempel-Ziv-Markov? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/12749>

  - Multiple ways to protect your source code - for various
    reasons: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/3698> lists a new kid on the
    block - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/21001>.

  - Creating a stardll instead of a starkit - embedded Tcl
    made even easier: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/15969>

  Talking back and forth
  - What methods do we have to let programs communicate
    amongst each other? A lot as shown by <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1228>

  - A very old (in terms of computerspeak) method can be found
    here: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/4885>

  - But nowadays you can simply start a lot of the same processes
    on different machines by a single incantation: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14734>

  - Or set the parameters for a TCP connection: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14722>

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.org/net/tcl-welcome
    comp.lang.tcl is a crucial resource for Tcl practitioners.
    An interesting perspective on its traffic appears at
        http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/about

    The Tcl Developer Site is Tcl's "home base".
        http://www.tcl.tk

    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:
        http://www.tcl.tk/resource/
    The TDX sponsor, ActiveState, also keeps info to convince your
    boss Tcl is a good thing
        http://www.tcl.tk/scripting/

    The Tcl'ers Wiki is a huge, dynamic, collaboratively edited repository
    of documentation, examples, tutorials and pontifications on all things
    Tcl.
        http://wiki.tcl.tk/0
    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://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Tcl

    ActiveState maintains binaries distribution and development tools
        http://www.activestate.com/Tcl
    along with a Cookbook of Tcl recipes
        http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Tcl

    "La Gazette du Técleux" is an important monthly publication.
        http://wfr.tcl.tk/1159

    deli.cio.us presents an intriguing approach to reference commentary.
    It already aggregates quite a bit of Tcl intelligence.
        http://del.icio.us/tag/tcl

    Cameron Laird tracks several Tcl/Tk references of interest (but
    needs to validate many of the links).
        http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/

    Years ago, Cetus Links maintained a Tcl/Tk page with verified links
        http://www.cetus-links.org/oo_tcl_tk.html

    "Yahoo! Groups" archives comp.lang.tcl.announce posts--even
    though clta itself is dormant.
        http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tcl_announce/

We're working on more useful archives of past installments.  In the
meantime, an alternative is
  http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&as_q=+Tcl-URL&as_ugroup=comp.l...
