The "killer app" for TCL is Expect, a TCL script from Don Libes at the US National Bureau of Standards. Expect permits automated connections to systems that don't support that out of the box. I've used TCL and Expect to automate file transfer between a Solaris host and a NT Server machine, to send nightly production reports to a public facing server where the client could see them. TCL is also popular among QA Engineers. It's just the thing for building test harnesses for running automated tests against code to insure it behaves as specified. TCL has been overshadowed by script languages like Java and Python, but fills a particular niche nicely. > regards, > Zbigniew ______ Dennis _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
