I found this symlink convenient too, especially on W95 when switching modes
between b19 and b20.

When running scripts which invoke expect on b20, I get a similar thing; they
look for expect in unexpected places, and it's not sufficient to satisfy these
places with a symlink.  Not that I've found a way to get it to run correctly.
