I posted a question about controlling a ftp process from a shell script a few days ago. Many of the responses I got told me I should obtain the "expect" package. Well, I followed the advice and got it from an internet site. In the instructions it said I need to also get TCL. I figured it was a library. The problem comes when I try to build TCL. It is full of errors! I perused through a correction document and discovered that I needed to modify several routines and countless other errors. The version of TCL I got was from durer.cme.nist.gov. Is there any- where on the internet I can get a "bug free" (at least buildable) version of TCL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, at our site we are running BSD 4.3, if that matters. Thanks again. trotter@enuxha.eas.asu.edu

Thanks again. I have expect 2.42 and TCL working in a VAX running Ultrix-32 3.0, I don't have any problems compiling the TCL library. I don't remember where I get the sources, but you can get ir from our anonymous ftp server, mtecv2.mty.itesm.mx:/pub/tcl.tar.Z [131.178.1.5].

Your description doesn't match reality. The Tcl from durer.cme.nist.gov has no such correction document. According to the logs, durer has distributed Tcl to 2000 sites and has never received a complaint like this. >Is there any- >where on the internet I can get a "bug free" (at least buildable) >version of TCL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, The expect README (which you must've read to get Tcl from durer) also explains how to get Tcl from Berkeley or how to contact the author.
