This program was used to test the performance of memory allocation
routines of various C++ compilers. The following files and directories
are of primary importance:

	malloc.cpp	- This is the actual test program
	BC		- Subdirectory for Borland C++ 5.0x
	IBM		- Subdirectory for IBM VisualAge C++ 3.5
	MSVC41		- Subdirectory for Microsoft Visual C++ 4.1
	MSVC42		- Subdirectory for Microsoft Visual C++ 4.2
	SC		- Subdirectory for Symantec C++ 7.21
	WC		- Subdirectory for Watcom C++ 10.6

The subdirectories contain project and/or make files for the program,
plus "malloc.csv" files which contain the test results from my system.

Compiler notes
--------------
In general, compilation settings were for speed of execution. Since the program is a simple single-module one, you may recompile it by
setting the appropriate options yourself.

- Borland: use the .IDE file in the BC directory.

- IBM: due to problems with the IBM WorkFrame, the IBM version of the
test program was created by running ICC (the command line compiler)
from the command line.

- Microsoft: use the .MDP files in MSVC41 or MSVC42.

- Symantec: use the .PRJ file in SC.

- Watcom: use the .WPJ file in WC.
