Unless your interest is strictly historical, a suggestion would
be that you shift your interest to "TPC-A", or "TPC-B".  Write
to a consulting firm: 
 Itom, International, 
 POB 1450 
 Los Altos, Ca. 94023.  

(415) 948-4516.

TPC-x have greatly tightened up the DebitCredit spec, and thus replaced 
the ill-specified DebitCredit for all credible published results since 
they became available.  None of these benchmarks are in source form, 
rather they define a transaction and database sizing rules.

If you really are interested in DebitCredit, try _Datamation_, 
(if memory serves) April, 1985.
