I believe that you can still run the whole test suite on the C evaluator by erasing all the .go files from the modules lib, setting auto compile off, then running the check-guile script. It does take a while to start up, though, since it reads the psyntax file each time a new script starts. Haven't tried it lately, but, it has worked on previous versions of 2.0. -Mike
