			EXPECT  5.12

Expect is a program that performs programmed dialogue with other interactive
programs.  It is briefly described by its man page, expect(1).  This is Expect 5
for Tcl 7.0 thru 7.3.  Tk 3.3 thru 3.6 are also supported.

Expect is a program that "talks" to other interactive programs according to a
script.  Following the script, expect knows what can be expected from
a program and what the correct response should be.  An interpreted
language provides branching and high-level control structures to
direct the dialogue.  In addition, the user can take control
and interact directly when desired, afterward returning control to the
script.

I have simply created Expect for Linux, following the directions in the README.
I have done some basic sanity testing of these binaries and written a few
scripts with it. They appear to work for me. They might even work for you.

Please don't ask me about Expect, or TCL. The binaries were created with
on a Slackware 2.0.1 system and should work for most anyone. If not, you
are encouraged to get the source and make/test your own.

See the expect man page and the samples in usr/local/bin/expect-files.
