Hi,
  I use a computer with a Pentium-133 processor and 16 megs of RAM, and ach-
eived the following results in a full-screen DOS window, with a copy of Mic-
rosoft's Jview program(circa 1997) and an old freeware Java compiler called
JUMP(also circa 1997) with Sun's Java class library(circa 1.0, 1.1), and
Euphoria 2.2 for DOS, having translated the following benchmarks from Eu-
phoria to Java myself:

 Benchmark       Euphoria x's per second    Java
-------------------------------------------------
 Prime sieve      2126                      5380
 Shell sort       3501                      25893

As you can see, Java really beat Euphoria on the shell sort. Any idea how?
I used stand-alone Java applications to acheive these results. If you want
the classes that acheived these marvelous results, I will send them to you.
If you have anything *remotely* similar to Sun's 'java' program, you can
run them.
