MAJOR BUG FIX!!!!! 03/05/95
In the previous version of the NAiS Pentium Flaw Test, there was a major bug;
the test passed on all computers including Pentiums with the flaw. The reason
for this was:
(1) The compiler. When it passed through the math test part of the program,
it didn't produce code that would test that math equation because the compiler
was optimized to produce the fastest code possible and it skipped the math test
because the test (x/y*y!=x) was always false on my 486DX2-66.
(2) I don't have a Pentium. I didn't test it on a Pentium because an earlier
version had failed on my friend's so I had wrongly assumed that my new version
would also fail.
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience that this may have caused. Everyone who
donated will receive the latest version immediatly (either by e-mail or snail
mail). This version (3.00) has been tested many times on a REAL Pentium and it
failed everytime so it is GUARANTEED to work!
