   Get Laxen and Perry's F-83, Tom Zommer's F-PC3.5, or Frank Sergeant's
Pygmy.

   ALL are public domain, and are available via simtel20 (or will be soon).
   - F-83 is the now classic pd benchmark for 83-Standard
   - F-PC is a turbo-like fat enhanced superset
   - Pygmy is the other end from F-PC, a minimalists F-83
