Given the emphasis on benchmarking in the director's letter in the
latest issue of the Ada IC Newsletter (Vol IV, # 3), I have made the
following suites of benchmarks available (via anonymous FTP) on Ada20:

        Prototype ACEC: ps:<info-ada.acectools> & ps:<info-ada.aceccode>

        The acectools subdirectory contains the necessary tools for
        database creation and reporting.  The aceccode subdirectory
        contains the suite of test programs.

        SigAda Performance Issues Working Group (PIWG): ps:<info-ada.piwg>

        The piwg subdirectory contains a release of the PIWG benchmark
        tools and programs.  This directory will be updated shortly,
        when I receive the next release of the PIWG benchmarks.

        Package_Architect's Implementation: ps:<info-ada.pai>

        The pai subdirectory contains the tools in the PAI package for
        identifying implementation-defined system characteristics.

The suites are oriented for the VAX / UNIX environment with the Verdix
Ada Development System (since that's what I have), so some modifications
for other systems may be necessary.  Many started out under the VAX /
VMS environment with the DEC Ada compiler, and instructions for running
the suites in that environment have been retained where available.  I'll
be glad to answer whatever questions I can.

Challenge for the experts (who don't already know the answer): one of
the prototype ACEC programs is an erroneous program - which one, and
why?
