I have made available the TIL (Tcl ICE library) on sourceforge. TIL is a collection of Tcl-only libraries and utilities of general type. Most of these libraries and utilities originates from a number of projects where interaction was a key issue and where the applications being developed and deployed would run continuously for days and, thus, need to perform some level of introspection to check the liveness of the system in question. In general, TIL has three major goals. 1. Facilitate the development, deployment and surveillance of Tcl-based distributed applications and systems. 2. Suppress the discrepancies between UNIX and Windows when it comes to administration and deployment. 3. Demonstrate a design principle that consists in writing network-aware simple components. These components handle a single and well-defined task and an application consists of several of these components, assembled on one or several machines. The home page (under construction) is at http://til.sf.net/. The documentation is tiny but follow the link to the manual for more information about the components of the TIL. Hope this will be useful to somebody. /Emmanuel
