Hello my friends,

Here's an intermediate step on the long journey to NHI10, this time focusing on ATL (a TCL fork) - as always, the documentation 
is publicly available at:

→ http://thedev.nhi1.de/NHI1/main/index.htm

The project currently manages 5252 files, which in turn contain a total of 410375 lines of code and documentation.

NEW ATL feature
===============

* NEW: The ATL language combines TCL and myoo with Programming-Language-Micro-Kernel (PLMK) to create a fantastic solution when
        performance and robustness are paramount.
* NEW: By consistently slimming down TCL in conjunction with tcl8.5 and tcl8.6 support, a toolbox is created that serves
        programming without compromise, separate from the TCL mainstream.

NEW theLib package
==================

* NEW: The theLib package is a collection of libraries that serve as feature providers for other services but are not explicitly
        associated with any service.
* NEW: The first package added is myoo, an Object-Oriented-Programming (OOP) extension for tcl8.5 and tcl8.6 that offers a
        significant speed advantage compared to tcloo and tcl8.6.
* NEW: The lib_85 package extends the tcl8.5 shell with the missing tcl8.6 commands. The primary goal here is not full support,
        but rather simply to upgrade tcl8.5 to enable a kind of dual-boot with tcl8.5 or tcl8.6 within NHI1.

All the best and happy programming.
