[MACTCL] Coming from Unix it looks like Mars

[Jean-Claude W. <jc...@eq...>]

In preparation of my first Tcl build on MacOS X ever, I <blush> went
through the mailing list archives a bit more (RTFMailinglist-archives).
The thread on incr-tcl is illuminating - though geocrawler is a bit
tedious to browse or search IMO.

It feels strange to be on this end of the table but I'll say it anyway:
    Yes, macosx looks great, but everything is different.
    I would like someone to hold my hand and present it all
    to me on a silver platter.
No offense intended.  But it sums up my current feelings.

The point of the subject of this message is that macosx so far looks -
for 99% of all developers - strange, weird, or more accurately: unknown.
 Just like Unix must look at first to Windows developers, no doubt.

Let's try to ease the entry into macosx for Tcl developers.  I've set up
a page on the Tcl'ers Wiki with pointers to as many starting points for
Tcl *and* Mac as I could find.  Actually, I just extended one of the
existing pages: <http://mini.net/tcl/mactcl>

Please feel free to add and adjust the information on that page.  You can
edit it with a web-browser and add "[http://...]" as appropriate to
insert more links for example.
