If I recall correctly, he ran on two different machines.  Once on a big
Cray... the other time on a big connection machine.  I don't believe that
he ever wrote the results out as they were big...  I think he just made
the things, analyzed them in memory, then saved the analysis but tossed the
files.  But it was a while back and I don't remember exactly..
