Just got an email response from Leon (on Compuserve).  He is planning a 2.0
version of Benchmark.  No release date, no distribution policy, yet.
And he didn't specifically mention the libraries or the compiler/linker tools.
Asked about LONGREAL support...there was no answer.  He's getting kind of
evasive.  Must have something to do with him being involved with supporting
M2Sprint (as Preferred Technologies), as well.

Oh, and he did mention that all of the files uploaded to his vendor section on
CI$, were freely redistributable.  I might send them to Fred Fish for inclusion
in the library...of course, I'd like to get more material...and make it a full
disk. :)
