This file describes publicly accessible files in the top-level Expect
distribution directory.  There may seem to be a lot of files here but
most people just need to get expect.tar.Z.  After transferring it to
your site, uncompress it as follows:

	% uncompress expect.tar.Z

Then untar it:

	% tar -xvf expect.tar

This will create an expect directory containing source, examples, etc.
Change to that directory and read the README file for further instructions.

If you don't have Tcl either, repeat the instructions above but with
"tcl" instead of "expect".

HISTORY
	description of different versions of Expect.  This is included
	in the Expect distribution itself, but is also made available

	of Expect is available (that fixes the bug you reported)
	without downloading and unpacking the whole thing.

alpha.tar.{Z,gz}
	source to alpha versions of Expect.  (This may be sometimes be
	a link to expect.tar.Z or it may sometimes not exist at all.)
