     A portable benchmark suite that NCR calls the System Characterization
     Benchmark (SCB) was developed at NCR's E&M Columbia facility by Dr. Phil 
     Mills.  NCR has utilized the SCB as well as other commercially available
     benchmark products to evaluate the NCR Tower product line.  The SCB
     does an excellent job of assessing multiuser processing capabilities
     of the platform being evaluated.

     I believe that the SCB is still available from NCR with only a charge
     for distribution time and media.

     Contact me directly and I will refer you to a contact within the
     E&M Columbia facility as soon as I find out who that is now.
