	I use a Ultra Sparc II, which is a very old machine (I assume the Ultra Sparc 1
is a little older), so it is not surprising the relatively slow speed.
	Please send me the source or the binary, whichever you prefer. I can compile
the source with cc (my favorite) or with gcc (I think I have other compilers,
but have not checked out).
	My e-mail address:
jose@fractal.cimat.mx
Thanks in advance.
