Hello,

Not sure whether bug was fixed or just made less apparent.

I'll try to do it and write about results.

Very   simple  and  pretty  compatible  with  my framework. However, I
have several questions:
0. What about newlines? Unix, Windows, does not matters?
1.  Can  test  files reference another units? Typical test consists of
starter  program,  which  prepares  environment  and  calls  unit test
(separate  unit),  which uses unit being tested (separate unit), which
uses several supplementary units.
2.  Where  should  I  place  these  "another  units"  and how should I
reference them?
3.  I  want  to  test  package  under different compiler optimizations
("/O1",  "/Os",  ...)  Should  I  include  different  combinations  of
parameters into my set of tests - i.e. write test1_o1.pp, test1_o2.pp,
test1_os.pp? Or I have to leave such things for Makefile?
