- Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was that this program was designed to
- turn on as many transistors as possible thereby creating an *instantaneous*
- temperature of 400 deg C. Obviously this was the only useful output of this
- program and so there would be know reason to keep a prolonged temperature.
- Besides, it would probably destroy the chip if it were there for any
- significant length of time.
