+* Testing the port
+
+    The JIT has a set of regression tests in *.cs files inside the mini directory.
+    The usual method of testing a port is by compiling these tests on another machine
+       with a working runtime by typing 'make rcheck', then copying TestDriver.dll and
+       *.exe to the mini directory. The tests can be run by typing:
+       ./mono --regression <exe file name>
+       The suggested order for working through these tests is the following:
+       - basic.exe
+       - basic-long.exe
+       - basic-float.exe
+       - basic-calls.exe
+       - objects.exe
+       - arrays.exe
+       - exceptions.exe
+       - iltests.exe
+       - generics.exe
