[comp.os.minix] New dhrystone

I made the binary ok on MINIX, but when I ran it, it finished instantly,
with all the pairs different.  Anybody get it to work on a PC?  If, so
what has to be in the makefile?

This is the behavior I saw when entering a number that was either too small
or too large (>32767) for the number of itterations.  Using 30000, my 16mHz
286 system gave 2137.8 Dhrystones/sec as the modal speed. That's with the
protected mode kernel, ACK 1.2 compiler and the posted floating pt. library.
