+@page McastHello Test README File
+
+This test verifies basic functionality of the MIOP support in TAO.
+It creates two servers that listen on the same group id for requests.
+A client then sends a few requests using MIOP.  If both servers
+receive the multicast requests as expected, the test is successful.
+The most likely failure of the test is if the servers don't receive
+the requests and subsequently time out.
+
+	To run the test, use the run_test.pl script:
+
+$ ./run_test.pl
+
+	the script returns 0 if the test was successful.
+
+The test has some unique features that should be noted by
+users. Firstly, server.cpp includes MIOP.h, which has some magic for
+loading MIOP protocol in static builds. Secondly, the svc.conf has
+a directive for loading the right protocol factory. Both of them are
+required for static builds in addition to linking with the
+TAO_PortableGroup library. 
+
+However for dynamic builds things are different
+
+. One need not include MIOP.h. Including MIOP.h will require linking
+  in the TAO_PortableGroup library
+
+. The entries in the svc.conf should have dynamic directives. In
+  svc.conf you would be required to remove commented parts and run
+  the test.
