ANNOUNCE: Release 1.1 of tcl-cm3 by Andrew Mangogna
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/thread/4ad3dcd487ab77a1
I'm pleased to announce the availability of release 1.1 of tcl-cm3, Tcl
Tools for the Cortex-M3. This release includes an interactive GUI browser
program that allows attaching to a running target and viewing the core and
peripheral registers along with halting, resuming and resetting the core.
There are also the usual array of bug fixes and enhancements.
Tcl-CM3 is a project to generate open source tools that aid software
development on ARM Cortex-M3 processors. The initial focus is on gaining
access to the on-chip debugging aspects of the Cortex-M3 primarily via the
Luminary Micro Stellaris series of chips.

wntbackup.tcl - a help for using ntbackup.exe on MS Windows
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/thread/d741c10ae76d05cb
I wrote the wntbackup.tcl script that is an interface to the Microsoft
Windows Backup Utility (ntbackup.exe that comes with some versions of
Microsoft Windows). It can be used to back up data to a file or to a
stand-alone tape library (tape drive). The backups created using
wntbackup.tcl can be restored with ntbackup.exe.
wntbackup.tcl simplifies reporting (the backup log can be sent via
e-mail) and managing backup files created in backup jobs that are
scheduled to run regularly.
Limitations (when compared to ntbackup.exe)
- In a backup to a file it uses a new file for each backup job, i.e. a
backup file cannot be appended.
- In a backup to a tape it is designed for unmanaged method of backup
which requires manual loading of media (see more at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239892) and therefore a backup
overwrites any tape that is currently in the tape drive. More over,
the script does not allow spanning of backup media.

Thanks for Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki action:
Now that we can use "real" tables on the Wiki and other new
formatting, very old pages are turning up again, some could
do with a textual update too. Anyway, on to the summary
How to - the old way
- How to build good packages? This page could be modernised,
in your humble chronicler's view, but the advice is not
bad - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1236>
- How to choose fonts? Again, an updating might be useful,
but the typographical advice is still valid:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/451>
- With Tcl 8.5 we get a new command for a whole new insight
in Tcl's bytecodes. For the basics: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1604>
For the new command: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20334>
Graphs and graphics
- You might want to have a look at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2473> if
you are interested in data structures known as graphs - or
any of a dozen or more related pages.
- Talking of graphs, a network is a kind of graph too. And
very suitable for visualisation: <http:/wiki.tcl.tk/16279>
- Graphs, as in data plots or charts, can be found in
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/11265> - at the end suggestions on
how Plotchart might be improved ...
- If you need to know more about colours and the way to
specify them, read up on the HLS and RGB systems:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/19711>
- And last but not least, doodling the Celtic way:
run the program and see the figure change to your every
command - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20337>
Everything Tcl-related you want is probably one or two clicks away in these
pages:
