What: Suchenwirth's Tcl code
Where: http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/wiki/RichardSuchenwirth
Description: Richard has written a number of Wiki pages, pointed to by
the supplied URL. He covers code to detect or prevent a proc
from being redefined, a discussion of Lamda procs in Tcl,
a variety of algorithms implemented in Tcl and Tcl/Tk (which include
a simple balloon help, integer list generation, a cursor name
function, an integer to english/french/german name translater,
Unix file mode in letter notation (rwxr--r--), fraction math,
greatest common denominator, ip address, unix ls proc, simple
mail sender, max and min functions, morse code encoder/decoder,
converting numbers to commas, randomly selecting items from list,
Roman numeral conversion to and from integers, widget scrollbar
decorator, stack operations on lists) ISO country and language
codes to English, unit converters, adding Tcl minor subcommands
to commands, neat Tcl syntactic tricks that can be added using
the unknown proc, a keyboard widget which displays rows of buttons
representing the various characters to be inserted - particularly
useful for Unicode special character input, a Tk pane widget,
xbutton - a text and image button megawidget,
set of 7 bit ASCII input to Unicode string conversions using
a variety of targe languages (Arabic, Greek, Korean Hangul, Hebrew,
Japanese, and Russian),
Tcl tally gadget (used for counting strings, words, etc.),
Tcl 8.3 code which auto-detects UTF-16 by BOM in the first line
and reads the file into a string variable,
example of plain Tcl with Tk like calling style,
examples of APL like functionality in pure Tcl scripts,
code and discussion of base 64 encoding, code for doing syntactic
parsing, code to allow embedding C code directly into your C scripts
and have your program write the code to a file, compile and
then execute it, series of demos animating a train, moving
scenery, various sprites moving in the background, etc. .
Contact continues to write more code each day - just
stop by the web pages to see the latest list.

What: text widget replacement
Where: ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/etext/
ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/etext/etext.html
Description: Drop in replacement for Tk 4's text widget. Provides all of
the normal text widget functionality, along with a text annotation
type of 'block' (aka textblocks), which allow geometry management
over the text within the rows of the block.
Allows one to do things like fractions,
radicals, labeled equations, editable buttons, etc.
Also supports arbitrary lines drawn within its text box.
Doc on the new text widget can be found at
Version 1.6.3 now available.
