Ok, I have now tested runtests.bat
(Though not on ME as promised, because ... well, a long and sad story.)

First - can I leave out the "of 55" tests?
It is kind of difficult for me calculate how many tests there are in 
advance. Of course,
I can do it - but it feels better if I know it is for a good cause.

So, what I am proposing is something similar to this flow, had it been 
done as a BAT::

echo kernel32.dll:atom (test begin)>>results.txt
kernel32_crosstest.exe atom>>results.txt
echo kernel32.dll:atom done>>results.txt


Also - those not compiled, how about just not include them in the report?
This I am more flexible about though.

Hm...  I don't know.  Is that possible? I mean, it is Windows itself
that puts up these dialogs.  Can Windows be instructed to shut up and
log to a file instead or something?
I don't know how to do it, I agree it would be great.
Pointers or ideas from anyone listening would be most appreciated.

Jakob

BTW, is "ver-sion" a pun?  Good one.  :-)
