MG (Mike Griffiths); can be emailed at [email protected] ([L1 ]). Working (well, planning to work) on a personal home page at http://www.talvo.com when I can find the time, and hopefully to clean up bits of Tcl code I've written and put up there, among other things.
I've recently started doing web design (not using Tcl, as of yet, but hoping to get it set up some time in the future); my homepage for that is [L2 ].
Tcl To-Do List:
The largest piece of Tcl code I've written is Potato MUSH (MUD) Client, a telnet-type client for connect to MU*-style games. It is (IMHO) better than quite a few of the other clients out there, but then I would think that :) Completley lacking docs at the moment, though, and the code could use a re-write just to tidy it up (not to mention get it working cross-platform).
Probably my best/most commonly usable piece of Tcl code is Spider Solitaire, a pure Tcl/Tk version of the game shipped with Win XP. And the various other assorted things I've done or made some contribution to that I felt like noting...
entry-widget validation for filenames.
A second-formatter, at Formatting Durations (moved from Bag of number/time spellers)
A small proc for checking event-bindings
A couple of procs for photo images; one which allows you to Replace one color in an image with transparency, and another which allows you to Produce Thumbnails of an image.
A soundex proc, for checking if two words sound similar. (If you have Tcllib, the 'soundex' package included does the same job faster.)
An Example Canvas Widget, which someone learning how to use canvas may or may not find of interest.
How to Move an item on a Canvas Widget in a Straight Line (animated)
WikIndent, a (basic, poorly written, but fully-working) little script which adds a single space to the front of files, to indent them as 'Tcl Code' for copy/pasting to a Wiki page.
Web-Safe Colors, a (quickly-written and very ugly;) little program for finding the closest web-safe color to any color you give it.
After looking at the page 'Who owns the content on this Wiki', I thought I'd add this for the heck of it: unless otherwise stated on the specific page/piece of code, anything I stick up here is free for non-commercial use by anyone who wants it. Just don't blame me if anything goes wrong, and don't claim credit for anything I did :) Feel free to copy it for anything you like, modify it (but please add any improvements so others can share them, too), etc. If you want to use any of it in any commercial capacity, please email at the above address first for permission.

Hi Mike! I have been using an old version of tcl kit with my editor and I seem to have no problems with it. We managed to fix the cursor problem and now the cursor is going to the next line as it should.
I tried the 8.5 tcl kit for Windows and I have lots of problems with Windows 98.
Do you have any idea how to fix the Home/End problem using the old version of TCL Kit (without having to upgrade to TCL 8.5? Thanks!
