        * errno.c: Add _MD precompile condition; thus far
        had no effect when using /MD compile option but I
        thnk it should be there.

        * exit.c: Add __cplusplus to various #if lines;
        was compiling SEH code even when VC++ had
        C++ compile options.

        * private.c: ditto.

        * create.c (pthread_create): Add PT_STDCALL macro to
        function pointer arg in _beginthread().

        * pthread.h: PT_STDCALL really does need to be defined
        in both this and impliment.h; don't set it to __cdecl
        - this macro is only used to extend function pointer
        casting for functions that will be passed as parameters.
        (~PThreadCleanup): add cast and group expression.
        (_errno): Add _MD compile conditional.
        (PtW32NoCatchWarn): Change pragma message.

        * implement.h: Move and change PT_STDCALL define.

        * need_errno.h: Add _MD to compilation conditional.

        * GNUmakefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
        convention; set for nil optimisation (turn it up
        when we have a working library build; add target
        "fake.a" to build a libpthreadw32.a from the VC++
        built DLL pthreadVCE.dll.

        * pthread.def (LIBRARY): Don't specify in the .def
        file - it is specified on the linker command line
        since we now use the same .def file for variously
        named .dlls.

        * Makefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
        convention; default nmake target only issues a
        help message; run nmake with specific target
        corresponding to the EH scheme being used.

        * README: Update information; add naming convention
        explanation.

        * ANNOUNCE: Update information.

2000-08-12  Ross Johnson  <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>

        * pthread.h: Add compile-time message when using
        MSC_VER compiler and C++ EH to warn application
        programmers to use PtW32Catch instead of catch(...)
        if they want cancelation and pthread_exit to work.

        * implement.h: Remove #include <semaphore.h>; we
        use our own local semaphore.h.

tests/ChangeLog:

2000-08-13  Ross Johnson  <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>

        * condvar3.c: Minor change to eliminate compiler
        warning.

        * condvar4.c: ditto.

        * condvar5.c: ditto.

        * condvar6.c: ditto.

        * condvar7.c: ditto.

        * condvar8.c: ditto.

        * condvar9.c: ditto.

        * exit1.c: Function needed return statement.

        * cleanup1.c: Remove unnecessary printf arg.

        * cleanup2.c: Fix cast.

        * rwlock6.c: Fix casts.

        * exception1.c (PtW32CatchAll): Had the wrong name;
        fix casts.

        * cancel3.c: Remove unused waitLock variable.

        * GNUmakefile: Change library/dll naming; add new tests;
        general minor changes.

        * Makefile: Change library/dll naming; add targets for
        testing each of the two VC++ EH scheme versions;
        default target now issues help message; compile warnings
        now interpreted as errors to stop the make; add new
        tests; restructure to remove prerequisites needed
        otherwise.

        * README: Updated.

 Running test cases in this directory
 ------------------------------------
 
-runtest.bat is included for compiling and running tests.
+These make scripts expect to be able to copy the dll, libarary
+and header files from this directory's parent directory,
+which should be the pthreads-win32 source directory.
 
-Usage:	runtest cl|gcc testname
+MS VC++ nmake
+-------------
 
-	"cl" 		calls the VC++ cl compiler/linker
-	"gcc"		calls the GNU gcc compiler/linker
-	"testname"	is the name of the C source file without the .c
+Run the target corresponding to the DLL version being tested:
+ 
+nmake clean VCE
+ 
+or:
+ 
+nmake clean VSE
+
+
+GNU G++ make
+------------
+
+Run "make clean" and then "make". See the "Known bugs" section
+in ..\README.
+

+Writing Test Cases
+------------------
 
 Tests written in this test suite should behave in the following manner:
