Subject: 	Running scripts from ODE makefiles

    I am in the process of setting up a test system that uses ODE to
 keep track of different revisions of tests. I would like to be able to
 use standard ODE makefiles to build and run the tests.

   I need a way to be able to run test scripts from the makefile. I know how
  to build the tests , but I need a way to call a script that might do something
  like invoke dbx and then do several dbx commands. Is there already a way
  to call a script using the standard ODE makefiles or will a new pass have to
  be added to the standard make files?

  My second question is there a way to specify the location of the tools from
 within the test scripts. As an example I want to build and execute tests using
 the installed dbx and then repeat the test with a dbx installed in my working
 directory.
