TASH tests README File

This file describes how to build and run a program which tests that TASH was correctly installed and built. The files for building this program are in the tash802/tests directory.

Software use License Terms

It is my intention to make this software as freely available as possible, while not violating the rights of the Regents of the University of California and Sun Microsystems, Inc. This appears best done by simply using the License Terms included with Tcl/Tk.

Build TASH First

Before executing the TASH test program, you must first build either the Unix or Windows 95 version of TASH.

The TASHTest Program

The purpose of the tashtest program is to test the TASH Ada/Tcl binding. It does this by extending the Tcl interpreter with several Tcl commands implemented in Ada. It is intended that this test will eventually include tests for all of the thin binding. Currently, it tests a subset of the binding by implementing much of the sample code in chapters 30 through 32.2 of Ousterhout's book.

Build TASH Installation Test Program

Change to the tash802/tests directory.

Execute make to build the tashtest program.

Execute TASH Installation Test Program

Execute make test. This will use the tashtest program to execute the tashtest.tcl Tcl script.

When complete, the script checks for and reports success or failure.
