A little RSS browser

Michael Jacobson (16/06/2004) ~ Using RS's A little XML browser and adding some (very little) code here is a RSS tree browser.

MHo 2008-06-26: A Syntax error in startup script... appears. ActiveTcl 8.4.18 on w2k.

LV I made a couple of URL changes in the rss feeds, put the code into a file, and ran it against sparc solaris activetcl 8.5.2 and get:

$ /tmp/rss.tk

    invoked from within

    (procedure "recurseInsert" line 16)

    ("foreach" body line 6)
    invoked from within
