Below are the Unified Diffs for the 3 Tcl FAQ files.  This is provided
as an add on service to the readership.  PLEASE be sure to read either the
FAQ or the diffs to get a feel for the FAQ.  If there is info that is wrong,
incomplete or misleading be sure to let me know.  If you have written any
papers, books or in-house tutorial info on Tcl, Tk or any related packages
and can share this information, let me know so that I can add the appropriate
bibliographic information to the FAQ.  And if you have any software which uses
any of the Tcl based packages that you are willing to share - even on an
"as-is" basis, please let us know!

As always, if anyone would like to assist in maintaining these FAQs, please
let me know.  I would especially like to find someone who would like to take
over the actual question and answer section (part 2).
