[350,50] Submission from B. Z. Lederman

How Fast is your CPU? A set of programs which will measure
CPU instruction execution speed, with test results for the
PDP-11/70, PDP-11/84 and PRO-350, and a description of how
the tests work. Also, a preliminary version of a speed test
for the VAX.

Sort-11 V3.0: a set of articles on how it compares with V2.0,
and instructions on how to get it to run faster by building
it linked to RMS resident libraries, non-overlayed, and/or
I-and-D space, with test results.

Error Log Reports: how to get RPT to run considerably faster
by building it non-overlayed and I-and-D space. Also a version
which is overlayed but faster than the DEC supplied version
for people whose systems don't have I-and-D space.

SPM-11: two programs to make it easier to read the data from
SPM. One reads all collected records and translates them into
english (has been on a previous SIG tape), the other translates
overlay read requests. Includes a module which makes it easy
to use Abort ASTs in Fortran.

DCL as a Catch-all for MCR: a copy of the Multi-tasker article on
how to get this to work. It is a really nifty combination, giving
you the best of MCR and DCL at the same time.

Plus a couple of simple programs: one lets you input an FCS error
number and translates it into english using the message file that
comes with RSX. The other reads .STB files and lists the symbols
defined there.

See [350,50]README.2ND for further descriptions of what each file
in this account is for.
