Admittedly, I was using a recent snapshot of dejagnu (971222 to be specific), but I forsee dejagnu as becoming a generally useful tool like autoconf and libtool. Octave already successfully implements it. Perhaps after a bit of work on dejagnu it will be ready for general use and a berth on ftp.gnu.org. -- John GOTTS http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~jgotts
