Right. However, since implementors *will* need their own regression test suites, it would make things easier if we could have a framework for multiple purposes. Implementing and maintaining multiple testing frameworks is possible (and probably not very difficult), but it does add an extra management burden and needless complexity. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
