I hear so many different rumors, I've started to just ignore them all. One rumor is that V/7 will have zero Tcl support at all. Another is that the page generator will be implemented in Java but call out to a Tcl interp. for any Tcl code (basically moving Tcl out of the core). Another is that Tcl will stay where it is and there'll be better multiplexing between Java/JSP and Tcl pages. I'll believe it when I see it. If Vignette stays in business long enough for V/7 to see the light of day, I'll be amazed. I'm waiting for them to go tits-up so I can convince my organization to migrate our large investment in Tcl code from Vignette to AOLserver. *evil grin* > - Have an annual mass, tax deductible, brain-dead three day sales > presentation disguised as a politicaly correct technical and strategy > workshop and call it "AOLserver Attic" Hey, I'd /love/ an AOLserver conference if I could get my employer to pay for me to attend it! :-) > Bas "I made a lot of money creating sites in Vignette for companies that > didn't know any better" Scheffers. ;-) Rock on. I love Vignette. Developing sites in Vignette pays for my car, my mortgage, feeds my family, etc. :-) -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
