Glad you mentioned DT, if it were possible to get the actual original program
and then put together something like a Quad xenon 550 w 2mb of cashe on each
chip(or athlon), it might be a good idea to play it against the commercial
programs....but even then the node speed probably wouldn't be much better than
chiptest-m.   i would like to see results of the LCT 2 test run on those
mainframes....hitech, dt, etc.     thanks again
