Typing which expect comes back with /usr/bin/expect. This appears
to be the standard Cygwin location.
I did a search for expect on the system before installing Cygwin and
did not find an executable. This is a fresh 2k8 R2 VM. I did not install
another expect command from another source on the system and
DOS does not include an expect functionality that I am aware of. Web
shows that I would need to install another package such as HPs
expect or ActiveState.
