README for PDV test directory
-----------------------------

This directory contains shells scripts used to perform sanity checks
and regression tests against the PDV utilities.

Issuing 'make' in this directory will run all of the tests and
compare their output to canonical output.  Any differences
indicate a potential failure.

Each test consists of at least a shell script (basic.sh) and 
canonical output for the test (basic.test.can).  The test output
(basic.test) is compared with the canonical output and the
results are placed in a results file (basic.results) which
will be empty if everything passed.

NOTE: These tests are incomplete - more aggressive negative testing
should be implemented.
