-# How to test a release before shipping it to Configura
-
-# You have a candidate release.  This document tells you how to test it
-# before shipping it -- quick tests.
-# Readership: all.  Confidential: no.  Status: rough notes.
-# Background: knowing the history of MPS development for Configura is
-# an advantage.
-# Peer documents:
-#  <http://info.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/master/procedure/release-build/>.
-#  <http://info.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/master/procedure/release-configura/>.
-
-# What do we test?
-# Not much -- this procedure is for a quick test before shipping,
-# principally to make sure that the build isn't crock in some way.
-
-# How to run the test:
-# You need python (eg. 2.3).  Cd to where you would type w3build.bat.
-# Type ..\tool\test-runner.py
-# Each test should report "Conclusion:  Failed to find any defects."
-# Also check full log placed in file a1.txt.
