I have to take exception to this last statement.  The dhrystone's for
this compiler put it at the bottom of the heap for IBM PC/XT C compilers:

 * IBM PC/XT	8088-4.77Mhz	PC/IX		cc		 257	 287
 * IBM PC/XT	8088-4.77Mhz	COHERENT 2.3.43	MarkWilliams cc  296	 317
 * IBM PC/XT	8088-4.77Mhz	Venix/86 2.0	cc		 297	 324
 * IBM PC/XT    8088-4.77Mhz    Venix/86 SYS V  cc               339     377
 * IBM PC/XT	8088-4.77Mhz	PCDOS 2.1	Wizard 2.1	 367	 403
 * IBM PC/XT	8088-4.77Mhz	PCDOS 3.1	Lattice 2.15	 403	 403 @
 * IBM PC/XT	8088-4.77Mhz	PCDOS 2.1	Microsoft 3.0	 390	 427

If there are better results obtainable from PC/IX, by all means send them
to me.
