Okay, that worked. I have one test converted.

Gripes:

  1) How do I run an individual test run?

I use

  make -f gmakefile test searchin=plex

to run plex tests, and I think

  make -f gmakefile test searchin=plex*ex1

will work. However, how do I select ex1_2?

  2) How do I replace the output which exists with the output of the
current test run?

This is amazingly useful after changes.

  3) How do I give extra arguments with the make interface, rather than
test_harness?

Once I have all the functionality of my Python stuff,  I will throw it away.

  Thanks,

     Matt

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
