Just looked at Byte's web site (great search engine- typed in "604 vs.
Pentium Pro", and got all the relevant comparisons), and couldn't find
anything like that in the November issue.  The article "NT Roars on
the 604" had one app, I think it was Photomorph doing a swirl.  It's
not available on the X86 platform, so it wasn't tested.  The only
other test results were Bytemarks.  Could you drag that issue out of
storage if you have it and show us the apps on each platform under NT?
