- Vern,
-
- I've made flex 2.5.0.6 successfully with no changes to the source
- code at all. I'm including the Borland 4.02 makefile and config.h
- at the end of this message.
-
- When you're ready for release, I'll be happy to take care of getting
- the appropriate archive files up to Simtel if you wish.
-
- I have not used this version for any of my "work-related" scanners
- yet, but have run the fastwc benchmark. The compiles were for large
- memory model and optimization for fastest possible code. The test
- machine was a Pentium-90 (hey! timing output was integer!) with
- enhanced IDE on a PCI bus and no file system caching. I ran the
- test on two different input files.
-
- (Times are in seconds.)
-
- The first input was a typical postscript file concatenated 10 times;
- by typical, I mean that there were relatively few spaces, lots of lines
- with no space, using lots of parentheses.

- The second test run was on a file that consisted of 20 concatenations
