Hi, regardless I have good feelings regarding cgi.tcl to power a site
with extedned forms, I will like to see a happy developer showing me an
application large than the sample code provided.

Can someone show me a reference, it is just a background matter not a
judgment.

Thanks, Carlos

All of http://www.deepsoft.com/, http://www.wendellfullmoon.org/,
http://www.wendellmass.us/, http://railroadpictures.deepsoft.com/, and
http://adbanners.deepsoft.com/ run on cgi.tcl.

Also: http://vis-papers.cs.umass.edu/

All of these sites also make use of (to a greater or lesser extent)
Postgres via pgtclsh (http://www.wendellfullmoon.org/,
http://railroadpictures.deepsoft.com/, and
http://vis-papers.cs.umass.edu/ make the heaviest use of Postgres and
http://www.wendellmass.us/ the lightest).

The code behind http://adbanners.deepsoft.com/ is available from
sourceforge: http://tclads.sourceforge.net/

We use it often - it is a nice package.

Does it have any advantages over the supported ncgi package in Tcllib?

cgi.tcl is like "ncgi" package + "html" package.

IMHO there's no big difference between cgi.tcl and "ncgi".

But cgi.tcl provides totally different way to generate html code than "html"
package. It is very attractive way.

There is also more recent package to generate html code, "htmlgen" by Steve
Ball. It follows cgi.tcl model.

Personally, I prefer htmlgen + ncgi, or htmlgen + Rivet.
