Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links (Aug 6)
Hall, Leam
"Quote of the Week":
We're out on the track, we're running good and the
green flag is out. The language is going into the
hands of an eager core team. Now is the time to
STEP ON THE GAS. Do stuff to make it easier to
build, release, obtain and run Tcl and extensions
on every interesting-enough architecture.

To make this happen, Michael McLennan is coordinating the
community voting for the Tcl Core Team. Visit

consider the people, and participate. Most of the candidates
have made significant postings on comp.lang.tcl

On the technical side:
George Peter Staplin shows how to have two listboxes
share the same scrollbar.

to fix it.

thread has provided much food for thought; including notes on
other scripting languages, and even a contribution from Guido
van Rossum! (author of the Python Language)
