Harmon Sommer:
 How can I install 'expect' on uwin?

 Thx, Harmon Sommer

There are basically two options:

* find and install tcl for Windows, or
* port tcl to AST

This is a common problem with many unix tools ported to Windows, even
though they work well with Windows as such, they typically rely on the
windows API and may not always run in a UWIN session without a console.
(I like using Putty to ssh via localhost session into Uwin)

Things I've tried are Vim and Python.  Theses tools get confused when
they get invoked from UWin, and expect they're running under Windows.

Cheers,
Henk

Henk: Thank you for the advice. I installed Active State TCL and then
brought in the 'expect' package.
All works well.  Harmon
