I have already done the sort of things Expect does by writing commands
to a bidirectional stream created in Allegro 4.2 using
(excl:run-shell-command "csh -f" ...)
and listening for the responses or the
prompt to return. I am hopeful that more robust fuller functioned
implementations are available but I couldn't find them in the Lisp
repository.
Any pointers?
