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'.
      4 
      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'.
     16 
     17 Though numerous, the tests are very incomplete.  Please send any new
     18 tests/bug reports to: alm (a] netcom.com
