File: pr/tests/readme

This document describes the test cases in the NSPR directory
pr/tests.

=====================================================================
There are some sub-directories here:

dll
	sources for the .dll(.so) used by test dlltest.c

macbuild
	MacIntosh project files

server
	an empty directory. Does anyone remember why?

w16gui
	Sources for a modified version of the poppad application from
	Charles Petzold's book "Programming Windows 3.1". These
	sources were modified to test the library lib/ds/PLEvent.
	These files are obsolete and will not be maintained.
	
	This test was superceded by lib/tests/windows/winevent.c and
	lib/event.c and is now owned by CPD.

=====================================================================
The individual files are described here.
