19Vern,

21I've made flex 2.5.0.6 successfully with no changes to the source
22code at all.  I'm including the Borland 4.02 makefile and config.h
23at the end of this message.
24
25When you're ready for release, I'll be happy to take care of getting
26the appropriate archive files up to Simtel if you wish.

28I have not used this version for any of my "work-related" scanners
29yet, but have run the fastwc benchmark.  The compiles were for large
30memory model and optimization for fastest possible code.  The test
31machine was a Pentium-90 (hey! timing output was integer!) with
32enhanced IDE on a PCI bus and no file system caching.  I ran the
33test on two different input files.
34
35(Times are in seconds.)
36
37The first input was a typical postscript file concatenated 10 times;
38by typical, I mean that there were relatively few spaces, lots of lines
39with no space, using lots of parentheses.
