I've converted every instance of

	if (testcase)
          harness.fail ("Error");

to
        harness.check (!(testcase),
          "Error");

I did this automatically and have not attempted to rationalize any of
the tests.  This means that you'll see a lot of things like

	harness.check(!( !nan.isNaN())

but at least you'll now get a more accurate count of test passes.
This doesn't work in every case, because there are many instances of
things like

		try {
			testcase;
		}
		catch ( Exception e )
		{
			harness.fail("Error");	
		}

and
                if (testcase)
		{
			System.out.print (diagnostic);
			harness.fail("Error");	
		}

which do not easily fit into the harness.check() way of doing things.
