Or isn't that > possible to do in the regression tests? Good question. Simon wants to build a test suite. It appeared on his TODO list. However, I think it would be separate from the regression tests. Also, we need manual testing because people will do goofy things that the test will not try, I am sure. :-) -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073
