-How to check if it doesn't work ?
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-- java -DIVY_DEBUG fr.dgac.ivy.Probe ...
+How to check if it doesn't work ? -> There is now a simple testbench.
+It can fail if the architecture doesn't support broadcast on loopback address
+( change the IVY_BUS variable, e.g.: on MacOSX.2, or Solaris ).
 
-- check the rendez-vous, either in UDP broadcast or TCP multicast
-  * network available
-  * it works without ivy
-  * it works in ivy-c
-  * it should work in ivy-java
+to test every feature 		$ make 
+For the old API and regexp Check$ make test1
+For the new API Check		$ make api
+For the end of input check	$ make probe
+To be more robust		$ repeat 100 make
 
-- it should be symetric, whatever the order of the connections ( client A,
-  client B, client C vs A, C, B ... )
+Things that are yet to be written, but not easy:
+- automate tests with other implementations
+- check the network connectivity (UDP broadcast, multicast)
+- check the symmetry, whatever the order of the connections ( client A,
+    client B, client C vs A, C, B ... )
 
-- the regexps should function properly, let's build a little testbench
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+How to launch the testbenchs.
+
+  First, recompile the class with the right library.
+  in src, make JAVAC=/path/to/javac JAVA=/path/to/java
+  in tests, make JAVAC=/path/to/javac JAVA=/path/to/java 
+  in examples, make JAVAC=/path/to/javac JAVA=/path/to/java 
+  It is possible to add an additionnal CLASSPATH make variable.
+
+  For simplicity's sake, I personnaly use links from src/fr to tests/fr and
+  to examples/fr
+
+  For older JDK (1.1) , you must add swingall.jar (available from sun's web
+  site) and classes.zip in your classpath. An example is provided in the
+  makefile.
+
+  Here is the list of commands I use and platforms I have tested successfully:
+
+  linux:
+
+    java version "1.4.1"
+    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
+    Blackdown-1.4.1-beta)
+    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.1-beta, mixed mode)
+    all tests ok.
+
+    jdk1.1.8
+    java version "1.1.8"
+    be sure to recompile all the classes !!!
+    linux blackdown 1.1.8_v3
+    there is the JVM bug (see BUGS for details)
+
+    java version "1.2.2"
+    Classic VM (build Linux_JDK_1.2.2_FCS, native threads, sunwjit)
+    there is a possible JVM bug ( see BUGS for details ) leading to a
+    segmentation violation
+
+    java version "1.3.1"
+    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
+    Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS)
+    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS, mixed mode)
 
-- Probe:
-  should exit on ^D
-  should end when receiving a die message
