I  have  recompiled  the  Amiga version of ByteMark made by Michal Letowski
with  the  newest  version  of  SAS/C  Compiler (6.59), and for the PowerUp
version, I used the PPC port of SAS/C Beta 19.

I  have a Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 1240 board.  I am waited for BlizzardPPC
and BlizzardVision for A1200.

The  results test present in this archive were made with my Amiga1200/040@40
and with a Amiga 4000 Dual processor 060/PPC604@180Mhz.


My thanks go to:

- Michal Letowski           for porting ByteMark on Amiga SAS/C Compiler

- Vincenzo Iodice           for testing the 060 and PPC version
                            and for send me the result of tests.

- Phase5 digital products   for the great Blizzard 68k boards
                            and for goes Amiga into PowerPC

- All the people that make SAS/C Compiler live more.
