Attend the first Tcl/Tk mini-conference in Europe next June.
Here is the first announcement, with a Call for Papers.
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=551592341
Ball discusses proposed changes for XML packages for Tcl.

For TkTable users, a Tk8.2 compatible binary of v2.5 for Windows
is now in the archive:

Huang discusses the nuances of TCOM (COM extension to Tcl), and
how to iterate over collections
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=549549392
A good example of accessing ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) with TCOM
is presented
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=550013486
Bellenot provides us with a hint when upgrading C code that
handles fonts, going from Tk4 -> Tk8.
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=549267897
An interesting test to compare languages is being performed. Tcl
is on the block, so consider trying this out:
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=549628706
TkDesk 1.2, a Unix/X11 file manager was released
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=550454591
SRCE, another whack at configuration management on RCS, was
announced for first public release
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=550010205
Welch gives us an example of handling 302 redirection with the
http package
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=550199948
Yet another object system, TOS (Tcl Object System) is out for
people to consider
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=551077388
Hint of the week: Do you miss the std channels on Windows when
using Wish? If you tie wish via pipe to a program like cat, the std
channels will go to the piped program, as in:
wish83d | cat32.exe
This trick is used when doing ‘make test’ on Windows from the Tk
sources.
