+Testsuite for the i860 version of the GNU assembler
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a simple testsuite for the i860 assembler. It currently
+consists of testcases for checking that every instruction is
+parsed correctly and that correct object code is generated.
+
+It includes testcases for the base i860XR instruction set as well
+as the enhanced i860XP instructions and control registers.
+
+The expected results files were generated using the UNIX System V/i860
+Release 4 vendor assembler (/usr/ccs/bin/as -V reports version
+"Standard C Development Environment (SCDE) 5.0 12/08/89"). This
+way GAS/i860 is tested against a known good assembler.
+
+TODO:
+ - Relocation testing is basically non-existent.
+ - pst.d (pixel store) is the only instruction with no testcase.
+ - Tests for dual instruction mode: alignment of a dual mode pair,
+ check that dual mode has a proper pair (FLOP/integer) of instructions,
+ known gas defect when handling the d.fnop, etc.
+ - All current testcases use the default AT&T/SVR4 syntax; a few simple
+ tests of the Intel syntax should be added to prevent bitrot.
