I will look around other implementations. Hi John, I found a remake of whetstone.c test (original one came from UNIX world as I could understand) on one NetBSD FTP mirror. I would not want to paste URL address now, but it leaves under 'NetBSD/packages/distfiles' directory. Can it be "a pass"? Also there is another test 'flops.c' (it calculates the MFLOPS value) in the NetBSD packages. Both of NetBSD sources can be dig with a 'FileWatcher' Search Engine: http://www.filewatcher.com Can you, please, check copyright header for that whetstone.c (1.2) from NetBSD packages? IANAL and I would withdraw my questions if NetBSD trunk is not (C)-pass. Thank you, Sergei
