I doubt it -- it's a benchmark for the Squeak VM [1], and I modified the VM myself. David Brodbeck mentioned the code might be compiled against old libraries: If there's anything I can look for in the code, please let me know. Don't know if it's important: the program uses fprintf() to write to the file. Thanks, André [1] http://www.squeakvm.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
