It is *almost* done.  If I didn't have to do a two-day unix training
seminar Monday and Tuesday it would probably be playing on ICC
wednesday.

My quad-pro box shipped yesterday, supposedly.  It should arrive on
Monday
or tuesday, if all goes well (4 pentium pro 200 cpus, 256 mb, 12 gigs of
wide scsi disks (2x2gig, 2x4gig).  That's why I have been working on
this
so hard.

I've completed the necessary data structures to implement the Cray-Blitz
parallel search.  The program still works, although about 2% slower now.
(this was the hardest part of the procedure, btw).  I have most of the
pthread code done, and only lack a couple of pieces of code before I am
ready to start testing...

I chose to use posix threads, because there's a good chance it can be
ported to NT with little effort.
