+Various test files and a Makefile to exercise them are in the source
+repository, which is currently a subdirectory of the texlive Subversion
+repo, purely for the developers' convenience:

+
+The test-binary and test-bin2 files there were supplied by Akira Kakuto and
+Reinhard Kotucha. They contain binary data. They are public domain.
+
+The test-binhdr* files were supplied by Martin von Gagern, constructed
+as follows. They contain binary junk before the EPS starts. We also
+use these to test different line endings. These files are public domain.
