Hello,

Has anyone been able to get the program 'expect' running
on a Sequent running Dynix/ptx?  I was able to get TCL
and expect to compile, but when I try to execute an
expect script the script bombs on the 'spawn' command.
I suspect it is not initializing the pseudo tty device.
I don't follow the man pages on this subject.  If anyone
has any patches, comments, notes, examples of pseudo tty
code for Dynix/ptx, etc. I would very much like to hear
from you.  Thank you all in advance for any help you
might be able to give me.
