Anyone have any experience with validation suites for UNIX ports? That is, something that exercises most or all of the UNIX utilities and kernel, and reports on discrepancies between what is expected and what is produced. Such a product would be hard to produce, given that the only "specifications" are either the manual pages or the behavior of WECO UNIX as it comes off the tape. Still, I've heard that such things are beginning to appear, given the proliferation of new systems. A suite specific for System V would be great, but I'll take pointers to anything earlier, like Sys III or V7. Thanks, Steve Dyer uucp: ...{genrad,allegra,ihnp4}!wjh12!bbncca!sdyer ...decvax!wivax!bbncca!sdyer ARPA/CSNET sdyer@bbncca
