The first I heard of Tcl was in connection with Don Libes' "expect"
program, which I understand to be somehow based on or otherwise related
to Tcl.  I know "expect" only by reputation, and even less about Tcl,
but it from what I have read "expect" seems like a most useful program
for certain situations.  I'd like to know if the GNU project has any
recommendations of a non-Tcl alternative to "expect".

Please include comp.lang.tcl in any followups to this posting, as it is
the only one of the listed groups which exists on this system.
