NAME

TEST - Test worker for DiCoP, due to simplicity in Perl

DESCRIPTION

A simple testworker that 'walks' password rooms. This is a proof-of-concept and also used to verify the C version. For speed reasons, real workers are written in C, usually by using the Dicop-Workerframe library.

Modified version that prints passwords for testing in testsuite.
