Hello! > 3 generate n programs & compile them, o/p any compile errors > 4 run tests (eg those in the cvs ??? or the ones in the program we are
> Sounds as if 3 & 4 are the difficult bits... But I actually do step 3 on my PC, under linux. I tried the same before under a popular operating system, but though working several hours, I did not manage to start one application from within another one. There was a function that worked, but it was called "deprecated" or so. Step 3 would be to generate pascal sources. This generation has it's root in the definition of the Pascal Language and would check every feature to a certain degree, using "equivalence classes". Step 3 includes checking if the compiler produces errors where it should produce an error, and if it compiles where it should compile. The actual output would be a bug list. Only those cases where Step 3 is bug-free, would then be executed .. Anton. "Adas Methode war, wie sich zeigen wird, Tagträume in offenbar korrekte Berechnungen einzuweben."
