In the face of the catastrophe in New York, the daily work of Tcl'ers in
improving our language can seem pedestrian and futile. Nevertheless,
everyone who has contributed to the Tcl core over the years can take some
small measure of pride in helping with the recovery from this week's heinous
attack upon the United States.

In just the applications of which I have detailed knowledge, I know that Tcl
is used in

instrumentation on the 95+ generators being brought to a staging site in
New Jersey to provide electricity for rebuilding Manhattan,

testing (and sometimes defining protocols) on the medical imaging
equipment being used to treat the survivors,

configuration management at the factories that built the light tower
units that light the way for the ambulances goingto St Vincent's and
Bellevue,

and of course in bringing the news of this disaster out to an anxious
world.

Thanks, folks.

O Lord, make speed to save us, / O Lord, make haste to help us.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, / God, save your people.
God save the State, / And mercifully do hear us when we call upon Thee,
Endue her ministers with righteousness, / And make Thy chosen people joyful.
God save Thy people, / And bless Thine inheritance.
Give peace in our time, O Lord, / For it is Thou alone that makest us to
dwell in safety.
O Lord, make clean our hearts within us, / And take not Thy Holy Spirit
from us.
-- Book of Common Prayer
(Evening Prayer, Rite I)
