No you didn't -- I just wrote some stuff that goes and calls the Publisher
functions.

Here's what I get when my program calls subscribe:

You have an error in your SQL syntax near '
url='http://my.theinfo.org/changed/notify.tcl'' at line 1
SELECT id FROM syndicatedpublicationsubscribed WHERE publication_id='12',
url='http://my.theinfo.org/changed/notify.tcl'

getPublications works fine. To see what I get, visit:

http://my.theinfo.org/changed/publications.tcl?url=YOUR_URL_HERE

with YOUR_URL_HERE obviously replaced by the URL you want to test.

If we want to use a char, I'd have it be something more meaningful like a
URL than a random string. As I've said, my code doesn't do anything yet so
it's trivial to change things.

Tcl code is at:
