Re: [tcljava-user] Suitability of Tcl Blend

[Seamus M. <sea...@ho...>]

Thanx Tom,

I tried this and expect4j certainly works a treat.  Unfort I have ran into trouble as I now need to require other packages, to talk to a piece of Spirent Test Kit, which rely on a particular tcl version, and features which have not been implemented in JACL.

Going to give TCLBlend ago now.

Cheers Again
