TLC is a Tcl package created by Cyan Ogilvie containing a bunch of Itk based widgets, a simple client / server rpc framework, and a mechanism for building arrays of virtual logic gates for state propagation. (and probably lots more too - I abuse this as a place to put anything I use all the time)Hosted on sourceforge - http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl-tlc
The intention was to document this lot here. Looking at the list I'm having second thoughts. Bug me at cyan.ogilvie at gmail.com if you have a need for any of this stuff and are hampered by the lack of documentation.Widgets

Other bits
- decomment - a routine for stripping comments (say from a config file)
