About expect 5.44

http://expect.nist.gov/ was the original home Web site for Expect. It supplies sources and considerable history, background, and instruction. It does fail to mention, though, recognition [1] of Expect as one of the 100 most important publications of NIST's [2] first century. Note that the warning regarding expect 5.44 on that page is seriously out of date. The CVS 5.44 version linked to below is fine (and needed to build against Tcl 8.5).

The current maintenance of the package can be found at http://expect.sf.net/ , with access to the CVS available via sf.net's cvs repository. Note that the link (on the sf.net primary page) for the CVS repository is out of date; visit http://sf.net/projects/expect/ and use the link there to look at the cvs repository from your web browser.

This package is part of the ActiveTcl Batteries Included distribution on unix and as of 2005, the Windows version is available via ActiveTcl as well [3].
