 TESTING:
 
 This code has been designed to be tested.  A simple shellscript
 included in the distribution, 'replay', automatically reruns the
 last game you played.
 
-Here are some interesting seeds for debugging and regression testing
-For each one, I list the seed, the options, and the last svn revision
-for which it is known to have given the described behavior.
+See the "test" directory for regression-test logs and checkfiles.
+Please run 'make check' every time you change this game to be sure
+you haven't broken anything.  
+
+When you fix a bug, add the log of the game that triggered it (and
+a checkfile) to the regression tests. This is how we improve the code
+coverage of the suite.

+Two things to do to the log before dropping it in the test directory:
 
-Starts you in a quadrant with the Super-Commander in it.  Slamming three
-torps at him will kill him.  You can use this to regression-test both
-torpedo tracks and the Deep Space Probe. Known bug: "probe aut 2 8"
-triggers manual navigation.
+(a) Strip out all lines beginning with "#curses:" - these are for debugging
+the curses interface and are not needed or regression testing; removing
+them makes it easier to see the game commands.

+(b) Add a header comment line explaining what the log is a test for.
+It should begin with "# Tests". This is what gets echoed before each
+regression test is run.
 
-Do sr/mov aut 5 4/sr/sensors/orbit/transport; you'll get a transporter
-failure.
+Then drop it into the test directory and "make buildregress" to create
+the check file. (Don't forget to commit and push the log and checkfile
+to the repository.)
