These small differences between +Version 2.0 and 2.1 should not affect execution time measurements. +For those who want to compare the exact contents of both versions, +the file "dhry_c.dif" contains the differences between the two versions, +as generated by a file comparison of the corresponding files with the +UNIX utility "diff". + +The file VARIATIONS contains the article + + "Understanding Variations in Dhrystone Performance" + +which has been published in Microprocessor Report, May 1989 +(Editor: M.
