Note that you have no editing ability on this line so type carefully. You have t o do the timing yourself, with the present version. Start y our stopwatch as you hit return at the end of the number. S top your stopwatch when the diagnostic output starts. Divid e the number of runs by the time taken to get the speed numb er (Dhryhacks per second). Since this compilation runs onl y on Apple II's, it is useful only for comparing the speeds of different Apples. If you want the source, I can send you it, but you'd be better off with the source to Dhrystone, w hich I got from nistlib@cmr.icst .nbs.gov -- Doug Reeder USENET: ...!tektronix!reed!reeder from ARPA: tektronix!reed!reeder@berkeley.EDU BITNET: reeder@reed.BITNET the Little Mermaid on materialism: "I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad."
