<P>Once you have obtained a binary executable, you should
test FunnelWeb before using it or making it available to
users. FunnelWeb comes with a comprehensive regression test
suite. Here's how to use it:

<P>
<OL>

<LI> Set the default directory to be the
<SAMP>scripts</SAMP> directory.

<LI> If you are on a Macintosh, copy the FunnelWeb
executable into the scripts directory.

<LI> Edit the script <SAMP>master.fws</SAMP>. Locate the
section called "Define Symbol For the Root Test
                Directory" and define the <SAMP>R</SAMP> symbol to point to
the FunnelWeb root directory <SAMP>fwdir</SAMP>. The examples
in the comments in the script should make it clear what is
required.

<LI> Invoke FunnelWeb to execute the master test script
with the command line <SAMP>fw +xmaster</SAMP>

</OL>

<P>The <SAMP>master.fws</SAMP> script should run for a minute
or two. If all goes well, you will find a differences report
on your screen reporting zero differences. If this happens,
then FunnelWeb has been fully tested and is ready to be made
available to users. You should delete all the files in the
<SAMP>results</SAMP> directory.

<P>If you run into any problems, please write a short
report describing the problem and mail it to me
(<A HREF="http://www.ross.net/">Ross Williams</A> (<A HREF="mailto:ross@ross.net">ross@ross.net</A>)). I may
not be able to help you with it immediately, but I certainly
want to know that a problem exists, so that it can be
corrected in future releases of FunnelWeb.
