IMPORTANT ADVICE
----------------
3.   Before testing and using this new library for Sather, please read the documentation which contains information about the design of and the correct order of testing.

4.   a.   When testing this library, the test of stdchans (in the IO group of
     classes) MUST (repeat MUST) be done by hand running it before ANY OTHER
     class is tested as it contains the minimum dependence on other classes
     except FILE_SYS -- of which it is the simplest user and which, if there
     are errors in the first two tests, is most likely to be the source of
     the problem.

     b.   If the first two tests of STD_CHANS are successful then single
     character output is OK!  If subsequent tests fail then this is most likely
     to be due to an error in the elt! iter of STR -- which should be carefully
     checked first, before checking that the append routine in STD_CHANS has
     no error.

5.   There is NO Opsys component and NO SatherRT sections of this test library since operating system dependent classes are expected to be external - with no separate implementation!
