- Here's a great test for the broken FP handling in 386bsd. Compile
- cbzone, the 'battlezone clone', for your machine (it's on
- export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/cbzone.tar.Z) and run it. As soon as
- an enemy tank hoves into view your server will croak. Naturally,
- I don't suggest running it if you've got any important X applications
- running!

- Pity - I was rather looking forward to the speed of this on XS3, it's
- a fun game (well, for the first 20 min or so, anyway :-)
