I guess biggest weakness in the book is that it doesn't have anything about tcl's built-in packages (except for Tk, that I don't need :-/). For example Tcl's http package is quite convenient if you have to combine command line testing with web related checks and you don't want to code all http handling by yourself. Then again that kind of stuff should probably belong to book that is strictly about Tcl (and I haven't yet found that would give that information to me). If you feel that Exploring Expect is really something that you can't afford, http://expect.nist.gov/ has section for "Articles, Papers and Chapters of Expect". Newest additions on that list are from '99. In other sections, they have links to FAQs, tutorials, etc. www.usenix.org also has some conference papers, which cover expect. -- Juha Ylitalo juha.ylitalo@iki.fi <e-mail> +358 40 562 6152 <mobile> http://www.iki.fi/jylitalo <www> "Some tools are used, because its policy, others because they are good."
