Tcl/Tk references of interest to Cameron Laird
Paul Duffin writes,
"Tcl
is to my mind the ultimate 'Jack of all Trades' language."
Until I rewrite this page, feel free to browse
recent
publications or a
listing of the principal Tcl-related
documents at this site.
[This page will be completely overhauled sometime before 2001.]

Incidentally, Larry Virden reminds everyone to
remember to let the Tcl
bibliographer know about your papers, the Tcl commercial apps
FAQ maintainer know about your commercial applications using
Tcl and the other Tcl FAQ maintainers know about your tcl / tk
tips and your internet resources - software, WWW pages, etc.

Binary data
Can Tcl handle binary data? No; that is, out of the box, there was

release. Among the
expedients the
FAQ
mentions, I most admire Laurent Demailly's
TclBin.

These are the people I know putting
Java together with
Tcl in a public way:
It is a
good idea,
by the way, to combine Java and Tcl; Java enthusiasts shouldn't
worry that this diminishes their favorite.
