The NIST CCVS85 Test Suite
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains the NIST test program suite auxiliary utilities.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
The NIST test programs source is not included, but can be downloaded from the
here (1).

How to run the tests:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Download and expand the NIST test programs source.
- Prepare the setup (make setup) which does the following:
   - Run nc_exec85.pl to create EXEC85.cob (perl nc_exec85.pl newcob.val).
   - Compile EXEC85.cob to create EXEC85.
     - If TC compiler is installed in bin directories (make EXEC85).
     - If TC compiler is installed in development directories (mak.sh EXEC85).
   - Run EXEC85.
   - Run nc_extr.pl to create test programs (perl nc_extr.pl XXXXX002).
- Compile and run NIST test program as required.
   - Run all the tests (make -k -i -f ../Makefile_NC) from each subdirectory (in this case NC).
     You can select only one of the tests with the target program_name.PRT (i.e. NC101A.PRT).
