Mini Bio
I retired from USG after 25 Yr EE service to care for aging parents. About 1996, the Personal Computer PC on my desk, was replaced by a Sun Sparc 20 workstation. I was an engineer and mainly programming in Fortran 77. I had learned QuickBasic, Html, Perl (Unix), and also Javascript. Since the Sparc 20 interface was command line Unix, I looked around for a gui or gui language as an interface to the Sparc 20 workstation. I found Tool Control Language TCL fairly easy to mouse click and invoke executable icons on the Xwindows screen. I even had a gimpy trashcan icon on the screen. I showed my beginner TCL program to a co_worker and he said I had fairly imitated the the PC Windows icon system on a Sparc20 workstation. But this was only about 200 lines of beginner TCL code and fast as greased lightning on a Sparc20! How's that for a sales job on TCL? Then, I wrote small slot calculators in TCL and Javascript on the Sparc20 behind a firewall, which were similar to my later pages on this wiki.
