Status of ruby-expect?

I’m running ruby 1.6.7 and am trying to use the ruby-expect package
from ruby-lang. I read an earlier post that said that in later
versions of ruby expect is integrated. Is the functionality of expect
different in the integrated version? Is is documented anywhere?

Thanks,

That is interesting. Currently I’m playing a bit with expect (not only
the Ruby version) on various platforms and I am missing expect.rb in
some Ruby versions, too. Additionally, I would like to know, if
expect.rb shouldn’t be replaced by the more advanced Rexpect written by
John Carter: www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RExpect.

Cheers,
