Hello,

Okay, thanks for that. However, what I was looking for was something in the
actual source code that provided the number of tests. (I still haven't found
anything, so it probably isn't there.) I'm trying to sort out a request at work
which requires modifying the code a little bit. To resolve it I need to know
the number of tests.
