			Benchmarks

The directory samples\simple contains
	dry.mod 	dhrystone test (Modula-2)
	dry.c           dhrystone test (C)
	whet.mod        whetstone test (Modula-2)

These test can be used to compare different platforms and different
compilers.  We include dry.c test to make it possible to compare
the quality of the generated code with C compilers.

Enclosed are result of comparision between our compiler and
several C compilers. All tests were made on 486DX2-66 PC.
All possible optimizations for each compiler were turned on.
