changes from v3.3.0 (01.05.1996) to v3.3.1 (01.06.1996)
=======================================================
whole package
+ detection and "handling" for Linux added (will not work with DOSEMU yet)
1ST_READ.ME
* updated for the new STAT???? programs, Linux info and other details
80x86.CPU and 3rd_READ.ME (temporary included file)
- This file is not longer part of the 4P package, because I have converted
its information into HTML pages which can be found at the new 4P package
website, located at http://webusers.anet-dfw.com/~ludloff. The 80x86.CPU
file is not longer maintained (even not internally), because it would be
wasting my time to keep the file and the website up-to-date. Also on the
website you can find more actual and daily updated information.
INFO2 v3.3.1

STAT5 v3.3.1
* two versions available now (STAT5EMU and STAT5FPU), hotkey [F11/F12]
STAT5P v3.31
* name changed from STAT5P.BAT to STAT5DIV.BAT (means: bug fix for FDIV)
STAT6 v3.3.1
* two versions available now (STAT6EMU and STAT6FPU), hotkey [F11/F12]
STAT6DEB v3.3.1
* hotkey changed from [F11] to [NumBlock-5] (avoids trouble with STAT6FPU)
changes from v3.2.3 (01.04.1996) to v3.3.0 (01.05.1996)
=======================================================
whole package
+ handling and detection for the Qualitas 386MAX memory manager added
1ST_READ.ME
* text updated for STAT6(DEB), the Linux DOS box and the AMD K5 processors
80x86.CPU

STAT5 v3.3.0
+ iPentium MMX extension related Performance Monitoring included
STAT6 v3.3.0
+ Performance Monitoring program for the iPentiumPro processors added
The STAT6 can be used on iPentiumPro CPUs, like the STAT5 on iPentiums.
STAT6DEB v3.3.0
+ Branch/Interrupt Monitoring program for the iPentiumPro processors added
The STAT6DEB can be used on iPentiumPro CPUs, similar to the STAT6.
