I have been using Tcl for about 3 years.


HOME

I have been working on NewzPoint, my replacement for PointCast. NewzPoint is a tabbed layout webviewer with auto refresh. It was developed using Tcl/Tk and optcl. I should be releasing this application soon ... just a couple more features to implement. If you would like a beta copy just email me. A couple of Tclers have seen this application and the comments have been favoriable. But it maybe hard to decribe why you might need NewzPoint but I am hooked (a Tivo[L1 ] problem).


WORK

I have been using Tcl for automated testing of embedded radar system [L2 ]. I architectured (also software lead) our current test tool for validation testing which uses safe tcl to run each test in a "sandbox". The tool called ASE (said ace) is a modular collection of applications with Tcl as the test interpreture. It also uses ProDebug (from TclPro) to perform the test script debugging. A GUI (java), a data streaming server (tcl) and jEdit[L3 ] (java) as the test script editor . Each part is connected by network sockets so that any piece can be upgraded or replaced without affecting the whole application.
