From: FAQ General information
Subject: -VII- Where can I find information relating to Tcl on the Internet? 000. The following newsgroups often are likely locations for Tk extension related discussions: news:comp.lang.tcl, news:comp.lang.perl.tk, news:comp.lang.python, news:comp.lang.misc. Announcements about Tcl or Tk related code releases may be seen in news:comp.lang.tcl.announce, news:comp.archives, news:comp.windows.x.announce, and news:comp.lang.perl.announce as well. Discussions concerning porting of Tcl and/or Tk into new OSes occasionally are found in newsgroups such as news:comp.os.linux.development.apps, news:comp.sys.mac.programmer.help, news:comp.windows.x, news:comp.sys.next.software, and news:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. Discussions relating to specific applications can be found in newsgroups such as news:alt.comp.tkdesk. Foreign language discussions concerning Tcl and Tk can be found in news:maus.os.linux, news:maus.os.linux68k, news:de.comp.lang.tcl, news:fr.comp.lang.tcl, and news:fj.lang.tcl. 001. The introductory papers on Tcl and Tk by Dr. J. Ousterhout are available at ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/tclUsenix90.ps, ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/tkUsenix91.ps, ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/tkF10.ps. (The last of these files is the contents of Figure 10 of the Tk paper). The examples from the Ousterhout book are available in one large file as ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/book.examples.Z. A series of PostScript slides used in an introduction/tutorial on Tcl and Tk at several X and Usenix Conferences are available as ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/tut.tar.Z. Dr. Ousterhout has written an engineering style guide that describes the coding, documentation, and testing conventions that are used in Tcl and has made it available to other Tcl/Tk developers. It is located at ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/engManual.tar.Z. Feedback is welcome, but specifics concerning actual conventions are unlikely to change. Primarily there is room for changes on the presentation itself, as well as additional conventions which should be present but are not. Notes pointing to a conflict between a stated convention and Tcl or Tk base code are of interest. Send comments to Dr. Ousterhout http://home.pacbell.net/ouster/. There is also pointers to slide presentations made at the Symposium on Very High Level Languages and papers concerning intelligent agents on the Internet. Pointers to various Tcl applications (such as the Tcl Plugin, SpecTcl/SpecJava, WebTk), as well as FAQs and tutorials about these applications, can be found on the http://www.tcl-tk.net/ site. A page comparing Tcl to Visual Basic, Perl and Javascript can be found at http://www.tcl.tk/advocacy.html. A series of "How To" articles are also available at TDX. See http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/ for pointers to articles on using TclPro, using Tcl 8.1 regular expressions and internationalization features, creating tcl object commands, the option command, namespaces, tcl threading models, and more. 002. PostScript versions of published papers by mailto:libes@nist.gov (Don Libes) relating to Expect can be found on the net.

Harrison mailto:markh@usai.asiainfo.com has written a Tk/Tcl information sheet, providing an introductory look at why one might want to use Tcl and Tk. Version 1.0 was posted to comp.lang.tcl as news:278ml0$457@news.utdallas.edu. Contact him for a copy. Mark also gave a paper http://conferences.oreilly.com/cd/tcl/presentations/mharrison/slide001.html at the O'Reilly Open Source Conference on how Tcl/Tk is being used in China, and how easy Tcl/Tk 8.2 made things. 010. Cedric Beust mailto:beust@modja.inria.fr has written a short article giving guidelines on where to start when writing a Tcl extension. You may find it at ftp://avahi.inria.fr/tcl/writing-a-tcl-extension.ps. It is titled "Writing a Tcl extension: the Toocl example" and describes the work done on the Tooltalk extension. The paper is dated August 10, 1993. 011. Douglas Pan and Mark Linton mailto:linton@marktwain.rad.sgi.com have written the paper ``Dish: A Dynamic Invocation Shell for Fresco''. It is available at ftp://sgi.com/graphics/fresco/dish.ps.Z. The FAQ as well as some other papers are in ftp://sgi.com/graphics/fresco/. Fresco is an X Consortium project - non-members interested in contributing to the effort should contact Mark Linton. 012. The World-Wide Web Virtual Library now has a page on Tcl and Tk. You can find it at http://cuisung.unige.ch/TclTk.html. It points off to a number of other resources, though certainly not all of them. 013. A WorldWideWeb (WWW) resource for Ada Tcl is available as http://www.cs.colorado.edu/homes/arcadia/public_html/adatcl.html. 014. 015. A WWW resource for what appears to be a German introduction/tutorial on Tcl and Tk is at http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/home/stb/tcl_tk/tcl_tk.html. 016. A WWW resource describing the HTML to Tcl preprocessor is available at http://www.lbl.gov/%7Eclarsen/projects/htcl.html. 017. See http://www.iversonsoftware.com/service.html for a WWW directory of services relating to Tcl. 018. A WWW resource discussing Tk/Tcl style issues is available at http://www.atd.ucar.edu/jva/TCL.style.html 019.

Cameron Laird mailto:claird@phaseit.net has a number of extremely useful WWW pages relating to Tcl. For instance, one provides assistance to users in resolving common linking problems when building Tcl. http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.unix.programmer/linking-unix.html. Others covering a wide variety of subjects, such as Tcl compilers http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl_compilers.html, server side WWW Tcl scripting, and many others, are available beginning at http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/. as well as others that you can find from his home page. http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/server_side_tcl.html covers web servers with tcl embedded. For instance, see http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.unix.misc/unix_binaries.html. for pointers to various binaries. Note that Cameron has pages concerning Tcl 8.0 migration, pointers to Tcl Workshop reviews and spin offs, and many other topics - too many to list here. Cameron has also written a number of articles in SunWorld, including this http://www.sun.com/sunworldonline/swol-10-1997/swol-10-scripting.html article discussing the pros and cons of the major scripting languages, or http://www.sunworld.com/unixinsideronline/swol-03-2001/swol-0302-regex.html which discusses Tk and Unicode support. He also provides http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl-examples.html which begins an effort to provide a variety of 'good' tcl code examples. http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl_tutorials.html contains pointers to a varity of tutorials. http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl_on_win.html contains information regarding Tcl on Windows. http://www.sunworld.com/sunworldonline/swol-11-1999/swol-11-jacl.html provides a brief overview of how to get started with Jacl and TclBlend. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-xtcl.html is an article written by Cameron about XML and web service programming in Tcl. http://phaseit.net/claird/misc/writing/publications.html and http://regularexpressions.com/ point to several articles of potential interest to Tcl-ers. 021. Nat Pryce mailto:np2@doc.ic.ac.uk began a project to collect Tcl programming idioms or patterns. See http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/%7Enp2/patterns/tcl/ for the original root of this document. He has now moved the data to the more generic http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/%7Enp2/patterns/scripting/ which deals with various scripting languages, but continues providing Tcl specific idioms in its own sub-tree. http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/%7Enp2/software/tcl-setup.html discusses how to set up Windows environment to launch Tcl applications. 022.

The first Tcl 'home page' available via the WWW URL was at sco.com . It appears to be gone now. Thanks to Mike Hopkirk mailto:hops@sco.com for the time, energy and resources for having made this available. Note that one of the older versions of this page is also available for those behind a firewall as ftp://ftp.procplace.com/pub/tcl/sorted/packages-7.6/info/tclhtml.tar.gz. This WWW link used to be mirrored at numerous locations. The info on this page, the last I checked, was 2-3 years out of date, but might be useful for someone looking for tips for older versions of tcl. 026. A Tcl based chat room called Felix is avail at http://www.larochelle-innovation.com/tcltk/felix.tml. 027.

Wade Holst mailto:wade@cs.ualberta.ca at one point provided HyperTcl, a WWW page providing various views on info available to the Tcl community. Unfortunately, it has grown out of date. It can still be found at http://web.cs.ualberta.ca/%7Ewade/HyperTcl/. 035. An interesting site is http://pitch.nist.gov/nics/, which is a database registry for various domains of topics. Don Libes mailto:libes@nist.gov has created a Tcl domain where one can, for instance, do a search for rand and find pointers to various implementations of random number generators for Tcl. The NICS paper Don presented at one of the Tcl conferences is http://www.mel.nist.gov/msidlibrary/doc/usenix.ps.

From: FAQ General information
Subject: -IX- Where can I find the FAQ and who do I contact for more
information about it? I keep pointers to the authority locations of the various Tcl FAQs of which I am aware at http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/. I am also going to attempt to keep a copy of this file up to date on ftp://ftp.procplace.com/pub/tcl/sorted/packages-7.6/info/faq/ in files named tcl-faq.part0[1-5]. Make sure you pick up the newest ones there. There are mirrors of the user contribution archive site maintained elsewhere - for instance, it appears that huji, denet, luth, obspm, th-darmstadt, sunsite, univie all have some portion of the user contrib archives available. Also, I will be posting it on a regular basis to at least news:comp.lang.tcl, news:news.answers, and news:comp.answers. Many FAQs, including my particular ones, are available on the archive site ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news/answers/. The subdirectory and name under which a FAQ is archived appears in the Archive-name line at the top of the article. For example, this part of the comp.lang.tcl FAQ is archived as ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news/answers/tcl-faq/part2.Z. There is a Northern European archive for the FAQ at ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/usenet/news.answers/comp.lang.tcl/ as well as a French location for the FAQ at ftp://hplyot.obspm.fr/tcl/tcl.FAQ.gz. A great WWW site for these archives can be found at http://www.faqs.org/. There is also a mail server from which you can obtain a copy of the FAQ. Send an email message to mailto:mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu or mailto:archive-server@nic.switch.ch with the word help in the body of the message to find out how to use it. Also, this FAQ is available from within gopher (by looking at any one of the gopher holes presenting news.answers or FAQ lists), from WAIS servers (such as the comp.lang.tcl.src), from a number of sites which have available via ftp archives of news.answers and comp.answers (use archie to locate one of these sites available around the world), and probably other resources as well. Other news.answers/FAQ archives (which carry some or all of the FAQs in the ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/ archive), sorted by country, are:

ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/ Various Uniform Resource Locator (URL) ids for the comp.lang.tcl FAQ exist. My personal copy is found at http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/. The user can use a WorldWideWeb (WWW) client to access the Tcl FAQ from this point. Another FAQ page is http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news/faq/comp.lang.tcl.html. Yet another is http://www.cs.ruu.nl/wais/html/na-bng/comp.lang.tcl.html. A WWW URL where the FAQ is treated simply as one long scrollable document (suitable for doing a search against, for instance) is http://realsoon.wpi.edu:8080/faqs/tcl.FAQ though there are reports that this server is not responding to HTTP requests. A archive of the newsgroup is available from ftp://olive.kek.jp/pub/tcl/News/ where the archive is organized by collecting each month's worth of postings into its own file. This archive has been kept since January 1993. There is a Tcl room on Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Contact Don Lindsay mailto:don@metroatlanta.com for details on the #TCL room. The FAQs also can be found in many of the various archives for news:comp.lang.tcl as well as mirrors of the neosoft ftp site. I must warn you though that in many cases, the copies of the FAQs found around the internet are woefully out of date. The PURL points to the authority location and should be available to all. Let me know when you find the FAQ in new and unusual locations so I can update this resource guide! ------------------------------

From: FAQ General information
Subject: -X- On what sites can I find archives for comp.lang.tcl? At http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tcl_announce/, the news:comp.lang.tcl.announce postings are archived. Details regarding a mailing list of postings to this newsgroup are also at the WWW site. At http://www.loria.fr/news/fr.comp.lang.tcl-old.html, the first few months worth of articles on news:fr.comp.lang.tcl are available, while the current articles are available at http://www.loria.fr/news/fr.comp.lang.tcl.html. FTP access to individual articles from March through October 1997 are available at ftp://ftp://ftp.loria.fr/pub/arch-news/comp.lang.tcl/. One ftp archive of old news:comp.lang.tcl articles is available from ftp://ftp.canberra.edu.au/pub/motif/pub/comp.lang.tcl/. mailto:jan@ise.canberra.edu.au (Jan Newmarch) maintained it. It contains articles from July 1993 thru December, 1993. Another archive is available as ftp://olive.kek.jp/pub/tcl/News/ and is stored as a series of monthly archives. It is maintained by mailto:kusano@maple.kek.jp (Kazuro Furukawa). Archives for 1992-1996, as well as for January thru April 1997 ar available. Another such site is http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/mlists/comp.lang.tcl/comp.lang.tcl.html, which covers from December 1993 through April of 1996 (with what appears to be various holes in coverage). One way to access old news:comp.lang.tcl articles is to get one of the published CD-ROMs. CD ROM World's 1993 CD-ROM claims to include 40 meg of articles. InfoMagic's 1996 Tcl/Tk CD-ROM makes the same claim. More interesting ways to access a portion of the newsgroup are http://ecsdg.lu.se/cgi-bin/wwwnntp?comp.lang.tcl and a number of the USENET interactive archive sites. The first gives you access to a small number of recent news articles. The latter includes http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&as_ugroup=comp.lang.tcl, http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&as_ugroup=comp.lang.tcl.announce, and http://www.reference.com/ (which provides a mechanism for sending you email when new postings which match your favorite search query appear; unfortunately, most of the historical clt access is no longer available here). Another site would be http://decaf.talkway.com/cgi-bin/cgi?request=enter&group=comp.lang.tcl and http://decaf.talkway.com/cgi-bin/cgi?request=enter&group=comp.lang.tcl.announce. At http://hornet.mmg.uci.edu/cgi-bin/nph-fwais.pl, one gets the opportunity to do WAIS searching against various databases, one of which appears to be the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup.
