       We are in need of a program that has an "auto-learn" capability
or can be thought of as a "record & playback" program. This would be 
used to assist us in software testing. 

       In concept, we are searching for a program that can monitor the
keystrokes of a person and mimick those keystrokes on a repetitive 
basis. In this manner, a program in development can be tested and re-   
tested consistantly as changes are made to the code. This would provide
better debugging of problems and should result in a better finished
product for the end-user.

       What's needed is the ability to capture the incoming data (screen)
and create a "search" value or string. The typed keystrokes would then
become the response or "send" value. These search and send values need 
to be stored in a file which can later be used to simulate the same
session automatically.

       Please contact us if you know of such a product. Ideally we would
like the source for a 3b2 but we can port any C code. If anyone knows of a 
commercial program a lead on that would also be useful. Thank you in
advance for any leads.
