The SGIL company of France has provided a shareware INIT which replaces the SANE calls in your Macintosh with a faster mathematics library. It performs all calculations in REAL*4 precision (32 bits instead of SANE’s 80 bits) which results in a nice speed improvement for FORTRAN applications running on an SE or Plus without the floating point co-processor. The Whetstone benchmark improves by a factor of 2.2 on an SE.
