Re: RE:negative exponents and testing

Hi Roger,
I can see that trawling through such an output must be
time consuming. 
Perhaps I could extract the ones most relevant to me and just personally run
those
with new releases/patches (plus using it to check that something I do
doesn't break compliance).
Are the GCL tests for Corman available as a package/file?
Regards
Nigel
