Take a look at LSPR. z/990 2084-308 -- 2993 MIPS z/990 2084-309 -- 3299 MIPS Difference: 306 MIP with the engine nominally 450 MIPS. Is LSPR pathalogical? - -teD 300,000 Kilometres per Second Not only is it a good idea! It's the LAW!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
