Later versions were more chess 4.x like. It wasn't a parallel program at all, so it wouldn't use the dual cpus. It was written in Fortran (as was most programs back then as that was _the_ language for 'supercomputers' of the era). Fred Schwartz and I used to talk all the time when he was at Michigan. They had a team of 4 (at least) and sometimes more. Good program. pretty good eval (not in endgames however). But it did pretty well in middlegames.
