Acknowledgments

A motivational speaker once said that the formula for a successful manager was to give your people the tools they need to do the job and stay out of their way. Our editor, Andy Oram, did a great job of keeping us on track but generally staying out of our way. As the first Nutshell book to use SGML text-processing tools developed in-house, Tcl/Tk in a Nutshell had some teething pains but we were able to get the job done with help from the O’Reilly tools group.

Special thanks go to the reviewers of the first draft of this book: Allan Brighton, De Clarke, Robert Gray, Cameron Laird, Don Libes, Michael McLennan, Wayne Miller, Tom Poindexter, and Mark Roseman. Their many useful comments helped make this a better book.

One of the reviewers, Tom Poindexter, went beyond the call of duty. He suggested that we add a chapter on Tcl programming hints, and even volunteered to write it for us.

Paul would like to thank his wife, Deborah, for her understanding and patience when he disappeared into “computerland.”

Jeff would like to thank his family—Veronica, Jennifer, and Jason—for bearing with him while he wrote yet another book, taking more than his share of time on the computer.
