HZe - short for Holger Zeinert (holger DOT zeinert AT gmx DOT de)

I work in a software company mainly developing products for the automotive industry. 

Years ago I decided to use Tcl/Tk as scripting language for our products because it

    * is stable
    * is actively maintained
    * is available on [Windows], most [Unix] and [VMS]
    * it's simple and powerful
    * it combines GUI and scripting

I never regret this decision, although in the meantime Python, Java, ... entered the scene. Still, I like Tcl/Tk most.

2002 I started a project developing a web based information system. I used [mod_dtcl] for that (of course). Because of increasing load, we decided to switch to [FastCGI] with Tcl Interface. Running several servers in parallel without initializing each page improved performance a lot. And running different servers (different processes) seems to be easier than having Tcl multithreaded as Apache module. 
Connection to an [Oracle] database is done by [Oratcl].

Pages, I started:
    * [SYLK]
    * [ProxySwitch]
