By that do you mean what's the equivalent to "ok 2 # TODO reason"? Yeah, good question. The test passing or failing is one thing. The type of test (TAP calls this a directive) is another thing. You can't combine the two without losing information. Anyhow, those aren't comments. They just happen to have a # in them by historical accident, but it has an explicit format. Maybe it should be made more explicit in the TAP docs that you shouldn't throw just any ol thing after the # sign. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern <Schwern> What we learned was if you get confused, grab someone and swing them around a few times -- Life's lessons from square dancing
