Claim is made to post the source code to Dhrystone; send it to Bob Page and
we'll settle this once and for all.

There are at least two (2) "official" versions of the Dhrystone benchmark
that I quickly found in my Usenet archives (from over the past 3-4 years), and
I have this nagging feeling there's yet another one.

Point being: claims were made that the earlier benchmarks were flawed by their
"higher" numbers.  I believe the most recently accepted "Dhrystone" was one
posted to comp.lang late last year; I can retrieve them from tape if you're
unable to post your copy(ies).

Since I now have both Lattice and Manx, I'm not trying to pick any nits ...
... just seeking the One True Number!  :-)   :-)
