-#node-ipc test harness
-***TestHarness was intended to be run on linux.***
-*the test.js file is intended to start and run all of the files in the test folder*
-
-A full regression test should be done before each release to npm to insure that no expected or previously documented bugs pop up again. 
-This will also help to ensure that each new release does not create any additional bugs. However, it can never fully ensure no new bugs will be created. 
-Any bug that is reported and testable, which should be 99.9% of bugs, should have a test written and added to the test folder after fixing.
