Now, I havn't worked with GPIB since my days at Commodore, but just a
few days ago I talked to a lab-programmer, and he was very interested
in a "serious GPIB" interface, in particular if it came with a non-C
interface for script people like him.  Do you have anything that would
allow the use of this driver from shell/tcl/perl/whatever for people
like him ?
