Well Im all for giving it the flick, and extracting the tests into CVS 
as flat files :-).

But I'd really like to hear what Paul Reeves has to say (and probably 
Frank), since they are the ones that have really done some worked with 
it.  And I suspect they will have found some merrit in keeping it.

One think I have been thinking off, is a modified tcs program that works 
from flat files could still be run from dejagnu, with perhaps an option 
to use dejagnu to filter and compare the output.

TCS seems to me to represent a fair bit of effort in setting up and 
running tests, but not as flexible at validating the generated output. 
 The tcl/expect framework, is pretty good at that, so perhaps a 
combination could be used, TCS to run these tests and dejagnu to do the 
compare of the output.


Cheers
