  Just for kicks I ran Accrete on an 8MHz "Zipped" //c and it finished
in just under 30 minutes.  Maybe this Accrete could be a new Apple //
benchmark for accelerator comparisons - intesive memory/loop/comparison/
integer and floating-point operations with very little I/O.  Anyone run
this on a //gs with one of those Zip GSXs?
