Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki activity:
November already! Doesn't time fly? Since it does, let's get on
with the summary rightaway.
- Nifty little thing, that clipboard. Pity not all programs work
nicely together to manage it. So, here is a small Tcl program
to solve a problem that Eclipse and Klipper seem to cause
together: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24626>
- While very much "work in progress", nevertheless it can be
useful already this PDF viewer for gnocl. Check it out at:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/24617>
- Ah, databases for spatial data, and an extension to SQLite
at that - this tool can be found at: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/23457>
- Talking of tools, how about an editor for XML files and
similar: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/6622>
- Remember the small footprint implementation of Tcl, called Jim?
It is stil there: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/13693>
- A tool to remember too: viewing differences between files via
Eskil - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/10556>
- Last but not least, the monthly 3D demo at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17771>
