Hi Dr. Case,

I only have my slow powerbook G4, the benchmark on it is pretty
embarrassing
and my only benchmark done on G5 was using AMBER 7 in
http://rayl0.bio.uci.edu/~mjhsieh/archives/000236.html.

So far we are trying to borrow a G5 from Apple for benchmarking, hopefully
I
can get some sweet results from it.

By the way, just FYI, I just found that the binaries generate by this IBM
compiler give exit number 8 instead of 0, so the test scripts will always
goto error routine. We need to manually run ../dacdif file.save file
instead.

Best,
