 If you want to build ABCL, you have 3 options. The first option
-applies when you come from a lisp background. The second and thirds
+applies when you come from a Lisp background. The second and thirds
 options are more appropriate when you come from Java development:
 
- I)  Bootstrap ABCL using a Common Lisp implementation
-     Supported implementations for this process: SBCL, CMUCL, OpenMCL,
-     Allegro CL, LispWorks or CLISP.

 BUGS
 ====
 
-A lot of (renewed) energy has been spent to make ABCL a compliant
-and practically useable Common Lisp implementation.  Because of this,
-ABCL 0.0.11 now fails only 47 out of 21702 tests in the ANSI CL test
-suite.  Next to that, the fail count of the Maxima test suite has been
-reduced from over 1400 in 0.0.10 to little more than 600 in 0.0.11.

 ABCL's CLOS does not handle on-the-fly redefinition of classes
 correctly, and in any event is intolerably slow. There is no support

+# ABCL Tests
+
+
+## Internal tests (shipped with ABCL)
+
+1.  Java tests (based on Junit)
+
+2.  Lisp tests (based on RT)
+
+[Instructions for how to run tests.]
+
+
+##  External tests
+
+1. ANSI GCL tests
+
+Create a sibling directory of 'abcl' called 'ansi-tests' containing
+the [ANSI GCL tests][1].
+
+Invoke via 'abcl.test' target in Ant or by :force t on the ASDF
+'ANSI-COMPILED' or 'ANSI-INTERPRETED' systems.
