Shell scripts and data to test large file support (LFS) for dvips and
TeX-like engines, in particular pdfTeX.  These tests consume a generous
amount of disk space in the current directory, typically 4GB and more. 
Since they require a fair amount of time a progress report is displayed on
the terminal, followed by a line starting with either 'PASS' or 'FAIL'.

============

Run
  PATH_TO_largeps.test PATH_TO_dvips
to verify that dvips can create PS files with 2GB or more.

Run
  PATH_TO_largedvi.test PATH_TO_TEX_ENGINE
to verify that the TeX engine (TeX, pdfTeX, Aleph, etc.) detects when a DVI
file would be 2GB or more.

Run
  PATH_TO_largepdf.test PATH_TO_PDFTEX_ENGINE
to verify that pdfTeX can create PDF files with 2GB or more (based on
lfs.tgz from Martin Schr\"oder <martin@oneiros.de>, compare testlfs-martin/*).

Run
  PATH_TO_pdfimage.test PATH_TO_PDFTEX_ENGINE IMG
to verify that pdfTeX can create PDF files with 2GB or more, using various
jpeg, png, jbig2, and pdf images (based on test-lfs.zip from Thanh Han The
<thanh@river-valley.org>, compare testlfs-thanh/*).  The parameter IMG
indicates the test(s) to perform:
  jpeg-1, jpeg-2, png-1, png-2, jbig2-1, jbig2-2: just one test
  jpeg, png, jbig2, pdf: two tests
  all: all seven tests.
