Dave,
This sounds like a not unreasonable solution (having 2 sets of
tcl/expect packages). I can see that there might be a confusion factor
for newbies, so it would be good to get a few more opinions.
If it is acceptable, I would happily contribute/maintain the TCL 8.5,
expect 5.45 packages.
regards,
Craig...
