.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBcasacore_assay\fP invokes a casacore test program. If the test
program has an associated \.run file then it simply invokes it.  Otherwise \fBcasacore_assay\fP invokes the test
executable directly, and, if there is a corresponding .out file,
compares its output with that.

If there is a .in file associated with the test program then assay will
redirect stdin from it.
