I'd be interested in almost any TCL classes, mostly to see how they work a little better.. What ever happened to comp.sources.mac? I'm hard pressed to remember seeing anything come down in it in quite some time. It would seem that it would be a good place to send TCL classes, unless there's something I don't know about... Where is comp.sources.mac? David..

In a recent article, Mats Sundvall writes: >Yes, what is happening with TCL? Are people writing reusable libraries? Are >there any commerical libraries available? Glad you asked! I launched Prepare(), the Journal of Think Class Library Programming, on January 1st. The first issue has been out since then, and the second will be out on March 1st. Demo issues (which do not contain source code or detailed manual pages) are available from Compuserve, GEnie, America Online, and the Sumex info-mac archives. I have attached the PR blurb for Prepare() below. --- Prepare() is a bimonthly journal containing source code for use with Symantec's THINK C version 4 and the Think Class Library. Each issue contains many new classes for use in your own programs (the Prepare() Class Library), detailed manual pages for each class, and one or more demonstration applications that show you how to use them. The entire issue is distributed solely on diskette. The Manual pages can be printed for easy reference, or read on-line with The Prepare() Browser. You read the issue using The Prepare() Browser, which is the demo application in the first issue. The Prepare() Browser is also useful for reading any set of files in a directory tree. Everything in Prepare() is provided in source code form (including The Prepare() Browser), and the coding and documentation styles are very similar to Symantec's own style. The Prepare() Browser requires a Mac Plus or newer and System 6.0 or newer to run. 2 Meg of RAM and a hard disk are recommended for developing applications using the code in Prepare(). Because of the object-oriented code nature of Prepare(), subscriptions always start from the beginning of the volume. When you subscribe, you may receive many issues initially. Major classes in the premier issue of Prepare() include StyleText and EditStyle (Styled TextEdit panes), ProfileDoc (a useful Profiler and Tracer with an object-oriented user interface), DirListDir (a directory browser similar to ResEdit's), and ListPane (a fully-functional List Manager pane). The second issue of Prepare() (due out on March 1, 1990) includes FastText (a text editor class that supports tabs and a text buffer size limited only by available RAM, but not word wrap), PopupMenu (a versatile pop-up menu pane with many options for various menu appearances), and many other useful classes for use in your projects. Prepare() is a totally new kind of journal: not a printed magazine to be read and filed away, but source code for use in new or existing software projects. The Prepare() Class Library builds on and extends the capability of the Think Class Library, and, since it is distributed on diskette, it can be used immediately in the subscriber's own software projects. Since Prepare() is published 6 times a year, subscribers are quickly updated with code reflecting changes to the Macintosh System Software environment. Subscribers license the code in Prepare() via an agreement very similar to Symantec's THINK C license: no licensing fees are required for compiled applications written using the code in Prepare(). The source code and documentation in Prepare() is copyrighted by Lexington Software Design and licensed to the subscriber and may not be redistributed. Prepare() is an independent journal not affiliated with Symantec Corporation. A one year subscription to Prepare() is $495. Subscription inquiries should be directed to the phone number and address below. For further information, please contact: Eric K.
