+This test checks if the cli assemblies and their policy files are installed in the
+GAC and if the policy files are correct. The office must be installed with complete
+system integration. That is, one does not use setup /a for starting the
+installation.
+
+In OOo 3.0 there was a breaking change so that the test created for previous
+version do not work anymore. To use these old tests one needs to install a
+version of OOo less than v 3.0. Then one needs to check out the cli_ure module
+for that version. The tests are contained in cli_ure/qa/versioning.
+
+In the sub directory version_libs are libraries which are linked with (referencing)
+cli_cppuhelper
+cli_basetypes
+cli_ure
+cli_uretypes
+cli_oootypes
+
+They are named version_3_0_0 etc, where the name indicates the version of the
+office for which they were initially build. If there are only the assemblies
+for example OOo2.0.2 installed and a client was build with the assemblies from
+OOo2 then the policy assemblies must make the correct redirection.
+
+When calling dmake then the executable runtest.exe and version_current.dll are
+build. When runtest runs then it loads all dlls, which names start with
+"version", from the same directory and tries to run a particular test code
+which is only available in the version_xxx.dll s. The code in the
+version_xxx.dlls uses the cli default bootstrap mechanism to find the office
+installation and start the office. When running runtest in a build environment
+then it may use the wrong libraries for bootstrapping in which case the test
+fails. Then one has to set PATH which must point to the program directory of
+the office installation. For example:
+
+set PATH=d:\office\program
+
+runtest stops when a test failed to run. It writes error information to the
+console which shows which version_xxx.dll failed to run and if this was due to
+a referenced assembly that could not be loaded. This would be the case if such
+an assembly or the policy assembly is not properly installed or the redirection
+in the policy assembly is wrong.
+
+The version_current.dll references the assemblies in the current build
+environment. version_current.dll is also executed when runtest is started.
+
+To run the whole test one can either
+1. start testools/wntmsci11.pro/bin/runtests.exe in a console where no
+environment is set.
+2. Call dmake run in testools/qa/cliversions
+
+For a limited test one can call in this directory
+dmake run office=d:\office
+There must not be an office installed in the system (the assemblies from the GAC
+would then be used). Only the test with the version_current.dll will succeed
+because there are no policy files installed. This test requires that all
+assemblies are copied next to runtests.exe - the makefile will do that.
+
+The parameter office must be a system path to the office installation
+directory. The java code calls runtest and also sets PATH so that the test
+works in the build environment. It also sets UNO_PATH so that the office will be
+found. If the test says that it failed, then one should run runtest directly
+because it puts out more information.
+
+
+
+Creating a new version_xxx.dll
+==============================
+When a version of our assemblies changes then one should provide a new version dll which test exactly the assemblies with the changed version. This is easily done:
+1. set the build environment in which the new versions are effective.
+2  call: dmake name=version_xxx.dll
+3. copy the new version dll from the output tree into qa/versioning/version_libs
+4. commit the new version.dll using the -kb switch (only when creating the new file : cvs new -kb version_3_1_0.dll)
