Tcl Improvement Proposal Utility Program edit
Long ago, when "
Unix" often as not meant "
Solaris" (except that it was called "SunOS" then) or something now regarded as even more recondite,
serial port work generally involved the command-line utilities tip(1) and cu(1) ([
1], or [
2], for example). Questions sometimes still arise about these from new readers of
Exploring Expect, because that venerable volume was written at a time when tip(1) constituted a natural example for its lessons. tip(1) and cu(1) functions now might be done by ckermit [
3], minicom [
4], ...
[Was tip(1) specifically a BSD creation?]
