+
+This directory contains the tests for gawk. The tests use the
+following conventions.
+
+Given some aspect of gawk named `foo', there will be one or more
+of the following files:
+
+foo.awk --- actual code for the test if not inline in the Makefile
+foo.in --- the data for the test, if it needs data
+foo.ok --- the expected results
+_foo --- the actual results; generated at run time
+
+The _foo file will be left around if a test fails, allowing you to
+compare actual and expected results, in case they differ.
+
+If they do differ (other than strftime.ok and _strftime!), send in a
+bug report. See the manual for the bug report procedure.
