         If you are an OCLC library, CATMe is extremely handy for 
automating tasks. I've never used Expect for Windows. However, I can say 
that unless all you want are simple send and receive sequences or really 
need good regular expression support, it's easier to learn how to use CATMe 
from scratch than Expect. We've used both to do some pretty heavy tasks.
