Hoping to learn Tcl/Tk

[Jimmy Green]

I thought I would relay my experience with this book:
Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk PRENTICE HALL 79.95 UofT Bookstore

Since there seem to be many books on the subject,,, I had been looking for the 
original book by the author of Tcl/TK John Ousterhout(Tcl and the Tk Toolkit?)
, then i picked up this...
Its a contemporary (8.4) treatment of the language and tools...

Dry reading, Pretty good contents and index, layout is odd but workable, not 
too much handholding, a well explained intro/cookbook but skimpy on the why...
Very Broad coverage of the things you can do with Tcl/Tk
Authors are some of the hard-core insiders in Tcl/Tk realm
If im not mistaken, this may be the definitive text at the moment...

to bring heed and grate to halt try for (ms = -1 ; timetravel(ms) ; ms++) { ; }
if your keyboard is _really_ slow, you should get to the second iteration ...
PS, if X implements better method, endless echo "thanks" ; timetravel 0 <Enter>
