  Neither, It seems to be a complete rewrite in C. It takes into account
UNIX's multiple processes when bench testing.               
      
   Here's some of the tests:
   Dhrystone 2  (with and without register vars)
   Sequential and Random memory access with incremental array sizes
   Arithmatic tests (short, long, float, doubles, ints)
   Process tests (system call overhead, pipe throughput, pipe switch
                  process creation, execl throughput)
   File system throughput (incremental sizes)
   Client/Server Database throughput (incremental number of client/servers)

 I did post the sources, along with compiled executeables for Xenix386 and
 UNIX 386 on my bbs. The file is 'Bbench.tar.Z' and is located in the
 unix_bench files area of the bbs. It is approx 800K, so please don't ask
 me to mail it.
