-1 on removal The goal of the APR test suite is to ensure that APR works properly. If there is functionality somewhere in APR, then testing it is valid. If that functionality happens to be platform specific, then so be it. We export a portable *API*, but 90% of the code is platform specific. And that stuff needs to be tested. If the test sucks, then fine. But I disagree with the rationale of equivalency as a basis for accepting a test program. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
