	I have ben trying all night to get expect built on my 2.1.5 machine
	using the ports faciity. I downloaded the ports stuff for it.

	When I wnet to build it it checked and found that the appropriate tcl
	and tk shared libs were already on my system. It insistide that I
	download them again anyway!. Then it complained that the expect5.19
	working directory din't exist, so I linked 5.21 (which is waht it
	downlaoded for itself) to 5,19. The patch failed on 2 hunks. This
	aborted tha make yet again.

	Now I am stuck. How can I get a working version of expect for my 2.1.5
	machine?

	Thanks Stan.
