+To run the tests:
+
+1) Adjust the variable TESTED_SORT in the file run.sh - the value must point
+to the binary that is to be tested.
+
+2) Adjust the value ORIG_SORT in the file run.sh - the value must point to the binary that is assumed
+to be working correctly. The tested sort binary will be checked against this program.
+
+3) Run:
+
+$ cd <...>/testsuite/
+$ ./run.sh
+
+4) Wait for many hours, it is running about 23 hours on my laptop.
+
+5) Check the output and check the existence of the file errors.log in the current directory.
+If the test run has been successful, then there must be no file errors.log.
