README revision 1.1 1 The .t and .d and .r files in this directory are used for testing ed.
2 To run the tests, set the ED variable in the Makefile for the path name
3 of the program to be tested (e.g., /bin/ed), and type `make'.

5 Some spurious data may appear as the test runs. Errors appear
6 as:
7 *** The script u.ed exited abnormally ***
8 or:
9 *** Output u.o of script u.ed is incorrect ***
10
11 It is assumed that the ed being tested processes escapes (\) in file names.
12 This is so that a name starting with bang (!) can be read, via:
13 r \!file
14 Without the escape, a POSIX ed would attempt to read the output of
15 the shell command `file'.

17 Though numerous, the tests are very incomplete. Please send any new
18 tests/bug reports to: alm (a] netcom.com
