DEAR FRIENDS AND FUTURE MILLIONAIRE

AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV:

Making over half million dollars every 4 to 5 months from your
home for an investment of only $25 U.S. Dollars expense one time

THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET!

====================================================================================================

BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!!

Before you say ''Bull'', please read the following. This is the
letter you have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the
popularity of this letter on the Internet, a national weekly news
program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of
this program described below, to see if it really can make people
money.\\~ The show also investigated whether or not the program
was legal.

Their findings proved once and for all that there are
''absolutely NO Laws prohibiting the participation in the program
and if people can -follow the simple instructions, they are bound
to make some mega bucks with only $25 out of pocket cost''. DUE
TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT THIS
PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER
THAN EVER.

This is what one had to say: '' Thanks to this profitable
opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I
passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one
could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required.
To my astonishment, I received total $ 610,470.00 in 21 weeks,
with money still coming in''. Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey.

====================================================================================================

Here is another testimonial: ''' this program has been around for
a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when I
received this again in the mail I decided to gamble my $25 on it.
I followed the simple instructions and walaa ..... 3 weeks later
the money started to come in.
First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that
I made a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months by
re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am
playing it again. The key to success in this program is to follow
the simple steps and NOT change anything.'' More testimonials
later but first,

If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months
easily and comfortably, please read the following...THEN READ IT
AGAIN and AGAIN !!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$



FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR
FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED!
INSTRUCTIONS:

=====Order all 5 reports shown on the list below =====


For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME & NUMBER OF THE
REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS
to the person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the
report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR
ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems.


When you place your order, MAKE SURE YOU ORDER EACH OF THE 5 REPORTS. You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5=$25.00.

Within a few days you will receive, vie e-mail, each of the 5
reports from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your
computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the
1,000's of people who will order them from you. Also make a
floppy of these reports and keep it on your disk in case
something happens to your computer.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed
next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way
other than what is instructed below in step '' 1 through 6 '' or
you will lose out on the majority of your profits. Once you
understand the way this works, you will also see how it does not
work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and
if you alter it, it will NOT work !!! People have tried to put
their friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could get
all the money. But it does not work this way. Believe us, we all
have tried to be greedy and then nothing happened. So Do Not try
to change anything other than what is instructed. Because if you
do, it will not work for you. Remember, honesty reaps the
reward!!!

1.... After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement
and REMOVE the name & address of the person in REPORT # 5.
This person has made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting
their fortune.

2.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 4 down TO REPORT
# 5.

3.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 3 down TO REPORT
# 4.

4.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 2 down TO REPORT
# 3.

5.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 1 down TO REPORT
# 2.

6.... Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT # 1 Position.
PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address
ACCURATELY!


====================================================================================================


**** Take this entire letter, with the modified list of names,
and save it on your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES.

Save this on a disk as well just in case if you lose any data.
To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5
reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing
information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally,
where to find thousands of free classified ads and much
more. There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going:

METHOD # 1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY

====================================================================================================

Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it
goes, and we will assume You and those involved send out only
5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume that through mailing you
receive only a 0.2% response (the response could be much better
but lets just say it is only 0.2%. Also many people will send out
hundreds of thousands of e-mails instead of only 5,000 each).
Continuing with this example, you send out only 5,000 e-mails.

With a 0.2% response, that is only 10 orders for report # 1.
Those 10 people responded by sending out 5,000 e-mail each for a
total of 50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2% responded
with orders. That is:100 people responded and ordered Report # 2.

Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of
500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 1000 orders for
Report # 3.
Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 5
million e-mails sent out. The 0.2% response to that is 10,000
orders for Report # 4.

Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of
50,000,000 (50 million) e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is
100,000 orders for Report # 5 THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5
EACH=$500,000.00 (half million).

Your total income in this example is: 1..... $50 + 2..... $500
+ 3.....$5,000 + 4..... $50,000 + 5..... $500,000 ........
GRAND TOTAL=$555,550.00

NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGURE
OUT THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSES AND NO MATTER HOW
YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY !


====================================================================================================

REMEMBER, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE ORDER OUT
OF 5,000 YOU MAILED TO. Dare to think for a moment what would
happen if half or even one 4th of those people mailed 100,000
e-mails each or more? There are over 150 million people on
the Internet worldwide and counting. Believe me, many people
will do just that, and more!

METHOD # 2 : BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET

====================================================================================================

Advertising on the net is very inexpensive and there are
hundreds of FREE places to advertise. Placing a lot of free ads
on the Internet will easily get a larger response. We strongly
suggest you start with Method # 1 and add METHOD # 2 as you go
along. For every $5 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them
the Report they ordered. That's it. Always provide same day
service on all orders.

This will guarantee that the e-mail they send out, with your name
and address on it, will be prompt because they can not advertise
until they receive the report.

===========AVAILABLE REPORTS ====================

ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. Notes:
Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT accepted. Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least 2 sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of paper, Write the
NUMBER & the NAME of the Report you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address.

$$$$$$$$$ YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES $$$$$$$$$$$

Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success:

=== If you do not receive at least 10 orders for Report #1 within
2 weeks, continue sending e-mails until you do.

=== After you have received 10 orders, 2 to 3 weeks after that
you should receive 100 orders or more for REPORT # 2. If you did
not, continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do.

=== Once you have received 100 or more orders for Report # 2, YOU
CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and
the cash will continue to roll in ! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:
Every time your name is moved down on the list, you are placed in
front of a Different report.

You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report
people are ordering from you. IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE
INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS AND START THE
WHOLE PROCES AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can
generate from this business !!!


=====================================================


FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS
PROGRAM: You have just received information that can give you
financial freedom for the rest of your life, with NO RISK and JUST
A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT. You can make more money in the
next few weeks and months than you have ever imagined. Follow
the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do Not change it in
any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now.

Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting report after you have
put your name and address in Report #1 and moved others to #2
..........# 5 as instructed above. One of the people you send
this to may send out 100,000 or more e-mails and your name will
be on every one of them. Remember though, the more you send out
the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend,
I have given you the ideas, information, materials and
opportunity to become financially independent.
IT IS UP TO YOU NOW!

====== MORE TESTIMONIALS===================

'' My name is Mitchell. My wife, Jody and I live in Chicago. I am
an accountant with a major U.S. Corporation and I make pretty
good money. When I received this program I grumbled to Jody
about receiving ''junk mail''. I made fun of the whole thing, spouting
my knowledge of the population and percentages involved. I
''knew'' it wouldn't work. Jody totally ignored my supposed
intelligence and few days later she jumped in with both feet. I
made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the old ''I told
you so'' on her when the thing didn't work. Well, the laugh was
on me! Within 3 weeks she had received 50 responses. Within the
next 45 days she had received total $147,200.00 ........... all
cash! I was shocked. I have joined Jody in her ''hobby''.
Mitchell Wolf M.D., Chicago, Illinois

=====================================================

'' Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make
up my mind to participate in this plan. But conservative that I
am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that
there was just no way that I wouldn't get enough orders to at
least get my money back''. '' I was surprised when I found my
medium size post office box crammed with orders. I made
$319,210.00 in the first 12 weeks. The nice thing about this deal
is that it does not matter where people live. There simply isn't
a better investment with a faster return and so big''.
Dan Sondstrom, Alberta, Canada

=====================================================

'' I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I
wondered if I should have given it a try. Of course, I had no
idea who to contact to get another copy, so I had to wait until I
was e-mailed again by someone else.........11 months passed then
it luckily came again...... I did not delete this one! I made
more than $490,000 on my first try and all the money came within
22 weeks''.
Susan De Suza, New York, N.Y.

=====================================================

'' It really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money
with little cost to you. I followed the simple instructions
carefully and within 10 days the money started to come in. My
first month I made $ 20, 560.00 and by the end of third month my
total cash count was $ 362,840.00. Life is beautiful,Thanx to internet''.

Isn't it fair to say that by design, any dynamic language has such possible traps and pitfalls... (although this one is especially awkward). You don't need to try very hard to make TCL fall over in all sorts of ways like this.

The question I always ask my teams when something like this comes up is
- Why didn't the unit tests catch it
- What 'stock' unit test will we add in future to catch it

> It's very easy to miss, as it's quite natural for a coder to pass in arguments directly to constructors.

Its quite hard to miss if you TDD it...

Over a fairly short period of time you soon have a nice set of unit test classes that always try an throw up these sorts of problems. Probably about half a dozen small tests that pump in 'iffy' stuff to a method covers it.. and because of the beauty of typeless (or stringly typed) languages than can be readily used without modification

Anyway, just my thoughts.

Regards
Simon

That's the danger with this: it's very easy to get by by just passing in arguments in the normal way, and then end up with a severe security hole. It's very easy to miss, as it's quite natural for a coder to pass in arguments directly to constructors.

In the tutorial you have a diagram which presents how multiple inheritance
works in XOTcl. The one with Room and Kitchen etc. As far as I can tell,
the diagram has Room and 4WallsRoom the wrong way round. Ie. it shows
Room's being next after Kitchen in the next chain, when presumably it
should be 4WallsRoom.

November 14 - 18, 2016
Crowne Plaza Houston River Oaks
2712 Southwest Freeway, 77098
Houston, Texas, USA

Important Dates:

Abstracts and proposals due September 12, 2016
Notification to authors September 19, 2016
WIP and BOF reservations open August 22, 2016
Author materials due October 24, 2016
Tutorials Start November 14, 2016
Conference starts November 16, 2016

Email Contact: tclconference_at_googlegroups.com

Submission of Summaries

Tcl/Tk 2016 will be held in Houston, Texas, USA from November 14, 2016 to November 18, 2016.

The program committee is asking for papers and presentation proposals
from anyone using or developing with Tcl/Tk (and extensions). Past
conferences have seen submissions covering a wide variety of topics
including:

* Scientific and engineering applications
* Industrial controls
* Distributed applications and Network Managment
* Object oriented extensions to Tcl/Tk
* New widgets for Tk
* Simulation and application steering with Tcl/Tk
* Tcl/Tk-centric operating environments
* Tcl/Tk on small and embedded devices
* Medical applications and visualization
* Use of different programming paradigms in Tcl/Tk and proposals for new
  directions.
* New areas of exploration for the Tcl/Tk language

Submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words and a
summary of not more than two pages, and should be sent as plain text
to tclconference_at_googlegroups.com no later than September 12, 2016. Authors of accepted
abstracts will have until October 24, 2016 to submit their final
paper for the inclusion in the conference proceedings. The proceedings
will be made available on digital media, so extra materials such as
presentation slides, code examples, code for extensions etc. are
encouraged.

Printed proceedings will be produced as an on-demand book at lulu.com

The authors will have 30 minutes to present their paper at
the conference.

The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the
following criteria:

* Quantity and quality of novel content
* Relevance and interest to the Tcl/Tk community
* Suitability of content for presentation at the conference

Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but
those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.

Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between
background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to
the application. Application and experience papers should clearly
explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of
Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the
application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.

Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreements will be returned to
the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest
confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a
matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.

The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration
to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.

Other Forms of Participation

The program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of
up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed
panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position
statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four
speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for
substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations
of related research papers.

Slots for Works-in-Progress (WIP) presentations and Birds-of-a-Feather
sessions (BOFs) are available on a first-come, first-served basis
starting in August 22, 2016. Specific instructions for reserving WIP
and BOF time slots will be provided in the registration information
available in August 22, 2016. Some WIP and BOF time slots will be held open
for on-site reservation. All attendees with an interesting work in
progress should consider reserving a WIP slot.

Registration Information

More information on the conference is available the conference Web
site (http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2016/) and will be published on
various Tcl/Tk-related information channels.

I did a little more experimenting, and it's a little stronger than that. You also can't remove a
mixin from anything invoked by the active mixin. I.e., you can't forward the "mixin delete" to an
object of another class. If the mixin to be deleted is present in the call stack, it appears that
the mixin can't be deleted. Not that I expected it to work, but it seems worth noting.

Is the expense something that would be encountered on every method invocation, or would it only be
paid when deleting a mixin?

I really ought to spend some time with the source...

for extensions etc. are encouraged.

Printed proceedings will be produced as an on-demand book at lulu.com

The authors will have 25 minutes to present their paper at the
conference.

The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the
following criteria:

* Quantity and quality of novel content
* Relevance and interest to the Tcl/Tk community
* Suitability of content for presentation at the conference

Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but
those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.

Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between
background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to
the application. Application and experience papers should clearly
explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of
Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the
application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.

Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreements will be returned to
the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest
confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a
matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.

The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration
to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.

Other Forms of Participation

The program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of
up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed
panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position
statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four
speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for
substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations
of related research papers.

Slots for Works-in-Progress (WIP) presentations and Birds-of-a-Feather
sessions (BOFs) are available on a first-come, first-served basis
starting in August 6, 2012. Specific instructions for reserving WIP
and BOF time slots will be provided in the registration information
available in June 2012. Some WIP and BOF time slots will be held open
for on-site reservation. All attendees with an interesting work in
progress should consider reserving a WIP slot.

Registration Information

More information on the conference is available the conference Web
site (http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2012/) and will be published on
various Tcl/Tk-related information channels.

Don't know if the mailing list is the best place to post bug reports. Let me know the correct way to do it.

On a clean 32 bit debian based system, fresh compilation of TCL 8.5.9 and XOTcl/Next, TCL will crash when calling "obj info has type" without arguments or with wrong arguments:

nx::Class create C
C create obj
obj has type
tclsh: ./generic/nsf.c:9853: IsSubType: Assertion `cl && subcl' failed.

Rebuild the pkgIndex.tcl files with

    make libraries-pkgindex

Not sure, why and how you got the problem, but i will try to
trigger the rebuild of these files more eagerly... maybe a
pkg_mkIndex failed in your version....

i guess, part of the problem is that "pkg_mkIndex" without
the flag "-verbose" is completely silent also in cases where
an "error" occurs (often a missing dummy "namespace
declaration", just needed for building pkgIndex). If
pkg_mkIndex is called with "-verbose", it is too verbose...
I have now altered the behavior pkg_mkIndex in the build
process, problems with while building pkgIndex will be easy
detected.
