But it may be a moot point. David is considering the possibility of combining the two, in which case you could have 2 entrants, but one must be a "super-computer" like a parallel program and the other stricly a micro. My plan is to enter an old (but good) program as the micro entry. But the orignial plan is to have the WCCC at MIT. - Don
