895138SjmallettTests that are for parts of the base system should go into a directory here
995138Sjmallettwhich is the same as their path relative to src/, for example the uuencode(1)
1095138Sjmallettutility resides in src/usr.bin/uuencode so its regression test resides in
1195138Sjmallettsrc/tools/regression/usr.bin/uuencode.

1395538SjmallettBase system regression tests should prefix their test results with 'PASS' or
1495538Sjmallett'FAIL' accordingly, to make checking for failed tests easier.  For now the
1595538Sjmalletttests are very free-form, and it's up to you to do that.  Eventually, it
