This would make it possible to place a test pool under cvs control. To use this stuff: 1. Install IBPerl-0.8p3 (from www.karwin.com). 2. Create a directory named import under your TCS directory. 3. Copy dump_gtcs.pl, fix_it.sql, import_all, import_gtcs.pl to your TCS directory. Copy gtcs.gdl into the import directory. 3. To export data from an existing gtcs.gdb: run isql ./tests/gtcs.gdb fix_it.sql run dump_gtcs.pl 4. to create a new gtcs.gdb from the exported data: run gdef -r ./import/gtcs.gdl run import_all 5. If you like your newly created gtcs.gdb, copy it to your tests directory. Sorry, at the moment the TCS will not work correctly with this new gtcs.gdb. I'm working on this. Frank
