README: Tcl-URL! - the weekly guide to Tcl resources (Apr 19)

[Matt Newman]

This is my first week on the Tcl-URL! team so bear with me as I explore
better ways summarizing the activity on c.l.t.

Nice example of tcLex use:

If you don't like Tcl's syntax and/or semantics, it usually
takes only a few lines to change them.

Wise counsel on programming a parallel port:

Impassioned discussions of Scriptics and the Tcl Community as
we collectively figure out how to all work more productively together.
(Starts off as a discussion of threads and Tcl)

Have a look at the thread named "RFC: TkGS: the Tk Graphics Subsystem".
It tries to address device-independent graphics operations from Tk (eg.
transparent access to displays and printers).
