He used both.  Burton Wendroff/Tony Warnock got him some time on a C90
sometime in the 1993 time frame...  The advantage of the C90 is that it
comes with 32 gigabytes of RAM, which was helpful for making the generator
run very fast...  Of course, he didn't do any compression, and he couldn't
write the files out to anything for saving them...  but he did compute some
statistics about them before chucking them.
