Edit page: http://wiki.tcl.tk/edit/10305@ ----- I am the architect, the conceptualizer of 3 programs (programmed by others): * An editor programmed in TCL/TK (thanks to all the distinguished TCL/TK programmers who worked on it!) * An interactive natural language translator (I am still working on it; it is right now written in C for DOS; we are porting it to C for Windows; we'll use a TCL/TK editor afterwards most probably). This translator will be offered in a book; it won't have any data included. It is up to the users to enter the data. Garbage in, garbage out; the better the dictionary entries the better the translation. It will work in any pair of languages and it can be used assisted and unassisted also. I was going to enter the French to English data myself and sell it as such but it is a gigantic task and I'll pass! Of course this is not an idea that came overnight. This is an adaptation of a paper system that took me many years to develop! I am in fact the only linguist ever who was able to come up with such a system of comparison of languages. * An outliner for writing in collaboration on Internet (not a wiki!); it is written in php with a MySQL database. It has rendered me many services through the years. Thanks to the two programmers! ----- I bless the day I came across TCL/TK back in 2004 or 2005. It is an excellent language for my needs. How did I learn of it? Through 3 excellent programs: * [Will Duquette]'s wiki editor. * [Brian Theado]'s [TK Ouliner]. One of the few stand-alone outliners on the market. * [Mark Roseman]'s [ProjectForum]. These programs were all held in one simple exe files. Wow! I was really impressed! And my curiosity was piqued. I discovered [JCW]'s tcl.exe program that ''plays'' any TCL script and I thought this was a brilliant idea. Afterwards, when I saw how easy it was to program an editor in TCL/TK, and how easy it was to link to databases and to C files, I became a TCL/TK fan, an afficionado as some people call it. I still love C of course. C and TCL/TK. In which order? Well, it depends on the day! :-) ----- '''Contact me on:''' * pnb12@aol.com * AIM: pnb120 * Wiki: http://greenlightwiki.com/travelstories (thanks to the great BenKovitz). Anyone is welcome to write anecdotes, travel stories, portraits, etc. Even erotic stories! No blogs please! If there is a tool on internet that can help writers, this is it! Writing an anecdote requires skill, concision, precise vocabulary. This is an excellent way to prepare your autobiography also. * Also check out: http://greenlightwiki.com for great subjects: heuristics, improvisation, advice for better living, etc. Greenlight Wiki is hosted by the great Ben Kovitz eho has written a great piece of software in Python. ----- This wiki is a rock. Why? For a simple reason: it has been built on a solid and simple principle (no personal comments are allowed) and it will last forever... ----- '''Links''' * [Looking for a TCL Programmer] Older/duplicate information can be found at [http://mini.net/tclrevs/10305] -[jcw] * [Basic TCL Programs] * [How to compile a tcl script into an exe program] * [Showcasing TCL Programs] * [Tearoff] * [The Backspace problem] * [A wiki running locally with a browser and a server] * [TCL benchmarks] * [A method of classification for Require for help items] * [The legal and ethical aspects of TCL/TK] * [TCL/TK Coders' Coop] * [Course Forum] * [The refactoring of the Ask and it shall be given pages] * [How did you discover TCL/TK] * [The best database that goes with TCL/TK] * [Looking for TCL/TK applications to buy] * [TCL/TK applications for sale] * [Why is a homemade database the best database?] * [Anyone interested in doing a comma delimited database?] ----- [Category Person]
