Until recently, anything named "expect.tar.gz" was an oldie. The moved 5.21 into expect.tar.gz, without making any kind of announcment, or any indication whatsoever on the web page. I'd seen this page before, but passed it up, thinking they'd marked it sanely. OK, I've got it now. Where's the port of expect? I will go and DEFINITELY clean out itcl this weekend, and I want to prove it with the new port (unless you're going to commit it quickly, then I'll get it from cvs, thanks). I've just got past 2 more exams, I have time for 15 quick breaths. I've gotta do something in a functional language for a class (I really don't care for functional languages!) It was probably a mistake to go for 2 degrees, I see that now. > > > > Satoshi > > Cheers, > -Peter > > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
