+# boost compilation regression test
+
+# Usage: regrtest [*|compiler] [*|library/program]
+#
+# Default: regrtest * *
+#
+# Compilers:  bcc54 = Borland 5.4
+#             bcc55 = Borland 5.5
+#             cw    = Metrowerks CodeWarrior
+#             gcc   = GNU GCC/egcs
+#             vc    = Microsoft Visual C++
+#             vcstlport  = Microsoft Visual C++ with STLport library
+#
+# Examples: regrtest
+#           regrtest
+#           regrtest gcc
+#           regrtest * smart_ptr/smart_ptr_test.cpp
+#           regrtest gcc smart_ptr/smart_ptr_test.cpp
+#
+# Note: use the following command line syntax if output is to be redirected:
+#           python regrtest.py [*|compiler] [*|library/program]  >log 2>&1
+
+# Revision history:
+#  21 Jun 00 Redesign to allow specifying compiler and program (Beman Dawes)
+#  18 Jun 00 Initial Version (Beman Dawes)
+
+# The Metrowerks and Microsoft compilers require various environment variables be set.
+#   See mwcc -help
