[[ [stubs]  ;   [Expect] ]]----
stevel ... I beg to differ. In May 2000 I stubified expect 5.31.7 (with
some assistance from Dave Engel) so that I could dynamically load
expect as a package within a scripted document.

I also submitted the patch to the old Scriptics CVS repository (id
923) and the notification was automatically posted to comp.lang.tcl.

If anyone is interested, the modified files are at
http://www.digital-smarties.com/pub/expect-bits.tar.gz and the
original versions are in
http://www.digital-smarties.com/pub/expect.tar.gz (I really should
turn these into a patch).

I've since made the patches available to David Gravereaux who is
looking at the Expect NT port.

If anyone is interested, I can make available builds for Linux and
Solaris Sparc

Steve has also passed his work on to Don, tclguy and Clif.

This is a big issue for anyone using [TclKit], [Starkit], ...

"Anyway, the expect 5.31 source and the modified files are under http://www.digital-smarties.com/pub
   * expect.tar.gz
   * expect-bits.tar.gz

The expect-bits.tar.gz files aren't diffs (I never got round to it) but
the changes are minimal. I haven't tested this using a recent tclkit/
starkit ... but it has been working for two years in production scripted
documents."

So, since Expect is a [SourceForge] project, will anyone be stepping forward
to upgrade the [CVS] repository of source to [Stubs]?  And perhaps [TEA2]
as well?
