I am completing another iteration of one of my prototype test programs.
The test is written in FORTRAN, but could easily be written in C or
(yes) Pascal [in fact I would encourage writing a Pascal version].  It
is a preliminary program to be run prior to a CPU/memory test (no
floating-point, that's third).  But back to this first test.

It's very simple, but also appears a little dumb.  It's designed to test
for one type of optimization as well as test the quality of a system
clock.  Just give me a week or so.  If there is enough interest I will
post it, otherwise I will take selected interested parties.  John ca be
certain he will get a copy: remember, it's simple, obvious, and appears
somewhat stupid.  Remember, it tests clock quality which is certainly
important to any subsequent tests.
