Any experience with Expect

[Glen Bojsza]

As far as I can tell Expect in it's native form is simply a command
line. Tcl/Tk was used to create a GUI enviroment for it. So Rev 
(which is a far better GUI enviroment ) could be used to develop a
more custom interface for particular users.

So if you ignore the addition of Tcl/Tk you have a command line
package which could be accessed with Rev through the shell or possibly
make Expect a Rev external.

I guess what I am trying to get at is that Rev should be able to replace Tcl.
