Oops, I seem to have goofed.  Int's on the 68000 C were 32 bits!
However, the only place where "jsr lmul"'s appeared were in some low
frequency initialization routines because of the random number generator,
in the integer matrix multiply routine were the semantics of the
program explicitly specified a long integer multiply, and in the cosine
subroutine of the fast fourier transform, again for initialization.
So perhaps the comparison was more fair than I had originally imagined.
The programs are available.
(John Leon, thanks for the correction.)

Again not trying to hide my lack of independence
(but trying to be fair and honest),
