 RUNNING THE TEST SUITE
 ----------------------
 
-(1) Download the tarball exim-testsuite-x.xx.tar.bz2 and unpack it, preferably
-    in a directory alongside an Exim source directory (see below).
+(1) Clone the git tree for Exim.  This include both the Exim source and the

 (3) Run "./configure" and then "make". This builds a few auxiliary programs that
