I think we can do everything we need with straight tcltest. You might want to check out this article: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-jacks/?dwzone=linux It is about a test system I wrote based on tcltest and why I avoided DejaGNU. An XML based test system for SN parsers would be very much the same except that we would need to compare the output a bit differently. Mo DeJong Red Hat Inc
