( SNUG 99 Item 18 ) ----------------------------------------------- [3/31/99]

 TICKLE ME ELMO:  Damn Ambit.  Damn PrimeTime.  It's because of tools like
 these that we're now all moving (kicking and screaming I might add) over
 to TCL scripting.  Means all those old & working dc_shell scripts will
 need translating or complete rewrites.  Damn!  SNUG'99 had its first TCL
 tutorial.  There will be more to come, I'm sure.

   "Tcl is a bit better than the current dc_shell language, but only a
    small bit.  Why couldn't Synopsys have picked perl or one of the other
    higher level scripting languages?  I tried to write a histogram routine
    in tcl, for PrimeTime, it was ugly and slow.  Perl did most of the work
    in one line with an associatve array (hash)."
