+Tk Test Suite
+--------------
+
+SCCS: @(#) README 1.2 96/03/27 08:52:21
+
+This directory contains a set of validation tests for Tk.
+Each of the files whose name ends in ".test" is intended to
+fully exercise one or a few Tk features. The features
+tested by a given file are listed in the first line of the
+file. The test suite is nowhere near complete yet. Contributions
+of additional tests would be most welcome.
+
+You can run the tests in two ways:
+ (a) type "make test" in the directory ../unix; this will run all of
+ the tests.
+ (b) start up tktest in this directory, then "source" the test
+ file (for example, type "source pack.test"). To run all
+ of the tests, type "source all".
+In either case no output will be generated if all goes well, except
+for a listing of the tests. If there are errors then additional
+messages will appear.
+
+For more details on the testing environment, see the README
+file in the Tcl test directory.
+
+You can also run a set of visual tests, which create various screens
+that you can verify visually for appropriate behavior. The visual
+tests are available through the "visual" script: if you invoke this
+script, it creates a main window with a bunch of menus. Each menu
+runs a particular test.
