[CLUE-Tech] expect script for cvs login? was: How do I do this?

[David Anselmi]

Are you just doing this as an expect exercise?  There's no reason to automate
this, since once you run 'cvs login' it will remember your password and allow all
your subsequent cvs commands until you do a 'cvs logout'.
