'''Personal info''' - I'm a tech writer by trade, and scripting has often been a diversion as much as a productivity enhancer for me. :-) In my first writing job out of college, I created a wobbly pile of ''awk'' and ''csh'' scripts to create & maintain documentation written in ''nroff''. (I recoded a few functions in C since I was sharing a Sun 1 with four programmers.) Later endeavors involved [AppleScript] (yes, I'm a Mac user and dang proud of it!) and WordBasic. I used to maintain a "WordBasic Corner" page on my web site, although it's as stale as last year's marshmallows. I started learning [TCL] to work with [XML] files in the same way I did with ''nroff'' files. (I looked at Perl, went "whaaaa?" and immediately downloaded TCL.) I stumbled across [Steve Ball]'s [TclXML] package at http://www.zveno.com/zm.cgi/in-tclxml/ and have had a great time learning both TCL and XML at once. So I'll be dedicating this page to working with XML files. ---- I should probably mention that Steve has also ported [expat] as a TCL package; it's available at the link shown above. ---- Email - mailto:lkollar@my-dejanews.com More to come once I have it. ---- [Category Person]
